Description

Plan in Australia is part of Plan globally. We are one of the world's largest community development organisations committed to ending child poverty.

We work with children, their families and communities in 49 countries in Asia, Africa and Central & South America. Plan helps communities to help themselves, so that children have opportunities to develop into healthy, educated adults.

Plan has no religious or political affiliations, and respects and celebrates people’s right to cultural diversity and autonomy.

Our child centred community development approach involves children as equal partners in changing their future. In this way, children are not passive recipients of compassion but agents of change with us in community development.

Plan recognises that making real improvements in children’s lives means working both locally and globally on the underlying causes of poverty in the developing world.

Plan is also a member of the MAKEPOVERTYHISTORY coalition and works within Australia to raise awareness of the issues of poverty in the developing world and what we can all do to be a part of the solution.
