Hear from sponsored girls and children about how Plan’s unique approach has changed their lives.
Making change
for girls
Real change happens when girls realize the power that they were born with, regardless of the situations they were born into.
Donate a Gift of Hope
With your gift to Plan USA’s We Are the Girls campaign, you'll join girls and their allies to create lasting change across the world with projects designed for and with girls, that affirm their strength and resilience. Girls have what it takes to lead the fight for gender equality, and your support can help amplify the movement! Donations can support programs, innovation and infrastructure required to deliver our programs to girls and their communities in areas such as gender and youth equality, education, maternal and child health, humanitarian response, and skills and work.

COVID-19 is devastating girls’ lives
This pandemic is causing the highest surges in child marriage rates we’ve seen in years. And it’s estimated that 11 million girls will never return to school once COVID-19 is over. The fight for gender equality cannot take a backseat right now.
By joining Plan International USA, you can help make sure that COVID-19 does not reverse the progress toward girls’ and children’s rights.
Every girl’s potential is hers to discover, and her life is hers to live. It’s up to us to clear the path and let her take her next step.
Because of you
21.6 million girls have been reached globally. 4.5 million girls have better access to quality education. And 6.8 million girls participated in gender-sensitive protection programs.
