About Plan NetherlandsPlan Netherlands is a member of Plan International, an independent international, humanitarian, child-focused development organisation with no political, religious or commercial affiliations.
Since 1937, Plan works in often complex circumstances in developing countries to achieve sustainable improvements in the lives of children and their families. Plan uses a child-focused community development approach for its projects and programmes in 48 countries across Africa, Asia and the Americas. Worldwide, Plan promotes child rights as well as improved compliance with the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. Throughout, Plan Nederland emphasizes on the rights of and opportunities for girls. Plan Netherlands emphasizes on the rights and opportunities for girls because – sadly - discrimination and inequality based on sex is common practice in many developing countries. Plan Netherlands envisions a world in which girls enjoy the same rights and opportunities as boys, because this is a precondition for a world in which every child can reach its full potential. Plan is convinced that it can help children best when it finds solutions to the unequal and unjust situation girls face. Plan Netherlands therefore aims to unleash the power within girls. website: www.plannederland.nl |
