Plan International Ireland

Plan International Ireland was set up in 2003. We are now one of the leading international development organisations in Ireland. At the core of our work is a focus on girls’ rights and education. Our aim is for them to learn, lead, decide, survive and thrive in all aspects of their lives.

We don’t just educate girls in the most vulnerable communities on earth. We ensure they have the tools to survive. By starting with reading and writing, we are starting them on a journey to making informed choices and unlocking their potential.

Your very generous support gives girls the hope to create their own future, lead their communities and make a real difference. Because while they live in a male dominated world today, your support will help them decide what kind of a world they want for tomorrow.

This does not mean we do not work with boys. Quite the opposite, in fact. In 2021 we worked with 24.1 million boys.

We consistently engage men, boys and wider communities in dismantling the harmful gender norms and stereotypes that hold everyone back.

Striving for girls’ rights and gender equality is ultimately beneficial for all of us, not only girls and women.
