Ce que nous cherchons à résoudre

Plan International Canada is committed to children and young people living a life of equality, justice and dignity.

We work in partnerships to identify and tackle the root causes of poverty, exclusion and discrimination.

We strive to create a sustainable environment in which children, families and communities can thrive.

Nos stratégies

Children are at the heart of everything we do.

We collaborate with children, their families and all members of a community to create and implement a long-term plan for improving living conditions.

We involve grassroots and regional organizations, as well as local and national governments, so improvements will last.

We make sure children and youth can participate in a meaningful way.

We believe that gender equality is essential to achieving long-term, sustainable change.

Our programs provide essentials like:

Education

Health care

Adequate nutrition

Clean water and sanitation

Family income

Child protection

Créer un changement

Plan International is a child-centered community development organization. We work with children, their families, communities, other organizations and local governments to bring about positive change. When children and adults work together as part of the change process, it is more likely that programs will be successful and sustainable.

How donations reach communities

Child Sponsorship contributions are pooled centrally and go to community development projects that benefit all children and families living in a community.

Project Sponsorship contributions flow to specific projects, such as the Because I am a Girl project, within multiple communities.

Community Sponsorship contributions flow to one specific community to support a holistic, community-based solution that includes clean water, education, food security, livelihood and gender equality.

Gifts of Hope go to designated projects in the communities where we work. In all cases, contributions support projects that have been developed in collaboration with community members – including children.

Résultat désiré à long terme

Plan International works with communities to build schools, educate teachers, dig wells, open health clinics, provide vocational training, innovate to improve crop yields, provide loans to start small businesses, and much more.

Funds from child sponsorship, community sponsorship, project sponsorship, partnerships and grants, Gifts of Hope, and one-time donations, including emergency relief efforts, make it possible for us to do whatever is needed to create an environment where children, families and communities in the developing world can thrive.

On average, Plan International works with communities for 10 to 12 years before successfully phasing out. During that time, we help community members build the capacity and skills needed to grow their community for generations to come.

Nos programmes

EDUCATION

Learning is crucial for development and is one of the most powerful tools in breaking the cycle of poverty and beginning a cycle of progress. Plan International invests more in education than any other program area. We work to ensure children, their families and communities get the knowledge and skills they need to realize their full potential.

HEALTH

Plan International helps communities build clinics, train health care workers and invest in equipment and medicine so children can survive and grow up healthy and strong. We are committed to working with children, communities and partners to ensure children’s right to a healthy start in life.

WATER AND SANITATION

Plan International works with communities to improve access to safe drinking water and sanitary facilities year-round and during emergencies. We engage with communities to develop solutions to local problems, including waste management.

PROTECTION

Child protection is central to everything we do We deliver targeted programs to address specific protection issues, like child trafficking, corporal punishment in schools, female genital cutting and child marriage.

ECONOMIC SECURITY

Millions of people struggle to meet their most basic daily needs, leaving them extremely vulnerable to economic shocks or disasters. Children are often the first to feel the effects, being forced to go hungry or leave school to earn an income for their family.

EMERGENCIES

When disaster strikes, Plan International mobilizes people and resources quickly, to ensure the immediate and long-term needs of affected children and their families are met. From providing urgent relief to running recovery projects, we work to protect the rights of children and young people at every stage of our emergency response.

CHILD PARTICIPATION

Children have the right to take part in decisions that affect their lives, but all too often their involvement is limited. Plan International supports children by allowing them to exercise their rights as citizens, to express their views and participate as active members of their communities.

SEXUAL HEALTH, INCLUDING HIV

We work with children, youth, our partners and communities to support quality reproductive sexual health education. We also provide services in prevention, care and support for those living with HIV and AIDS, and work to challenge beliefs and attitudes that maintain unequal power relations between sexes.
