Who is Plan
 |
| John Langdon-Davies |
Plan was founded in 1937 by British journalist John Langdon-Davies and refugee worker Eric Muggeridge. Originally named 'Foster Parents Plan for Children in Spain', the aim was to provide food, accommodation and education to children whose lives had been disrupted by the Spanish Civil War.
During the Second World War, we expanded to work with displaced children throughout war-torn Europe. Plan is one of the oldest and largest international development agencies in the world. They work in 49 developing countries across Africa, Asia and the Americas.
Plan directly supports more than 1.500.000 children and their families, and indirectly supports an estimated further 9.000.000 people who live in communities that are working with Plan.
Plan is independent, with no religious, political or governmental affiliations.
Their vision
Plan’s vision is of a world in which all children realise their full potential in societies that respect people's rights and dignity.
Their mission
Plan works to achieve lasting improvements for children living in poverty in developing countries, through a process that unites people across cultures and adds meaning and value to their lives.
What they do
Plan works with children, their families, communities, organisations and local governments to implement programs at grassroots level in health, education, water and sanitation, income generation and cross-cultural communication.
They ensure that children are involved in all aspects of our programs, working with adults who have learnt to value their contribution.
They protect and promote children’s rights, helping millions of children to take an active role in their own development.
