OPPORTUNITIES IN PLAN INTERNATIONAL, RWANDA
Plan
International is an independent development and humanitarian not for profit
organization that advances children’s right

s and equality for girls.

We
believe in the power and potential of every child. But this is often suppressed
by poverty, violence, exclusion and discrimination and its girls who are most
affected.
Working
together with children, young people, our supporters and partners, we strive
for a just world, tackling the root causes of the challenges facing girls and
all vulnerable children.
We
support children’s rights from birth until they reach adulthood. And we enable
children to prepare for – and respond to – crises and adversity. We drive
changes in practice and policy at local, national and global levels using our
reach, experience and knowledge.
We
have been building powerful partnerships for children for over 75 years, and
are now active in more than 70 countries.
Plan
International has been working in Rwanda since 2007 with a major focus on four

Youth Economic Security through Active Citizenship and Right to Protection.
