Plan Colombia

Plan has been working in Colombia since 1962, helping poor children to access their rights to health, education, livelihoods and protection. We do not have any political, governmental or religious affiliations.

We work closely with communities so that they can organise and participate actively in solving their own problems.

As promotors of child rights, Plan believes firmly that children and young people have the capacity to improve their quality of life. That’s why we strive to ensure that their voices are heard on issues that affect their lives.

Plan Brazil: what we do

Plan Brazil’s work covers 4 core areas:

• Healthy Childhood (0 to 6 years)
• Learning and Life Skills for girls, Boys and Adolescents (7-17 years of age)
• Economic empowerment of youth and women
• Children’s rights to Protection from Violence and Disaster Risks

Currently we are implementing over 20 projects within these areas.

This program will contribute to the strengthening of the competencies of fathers, mothers, caregivers and community organizations to offer adequate care and attention to pregnant women and children aged 0 to 6 years of age. Additionally, the competencies of State and municipal governments to elaborate and implement rights-based, gender-equal public policies for integral early childhood development (ECD) will be strengthened.

Plan Zimbabwe: what we do

Plan Zimbabwe works to promote child rights and lift children out of poverty.

During the development of Plan Zimbabwe's Country Strategic Plan, child consultations were held and children put forward what they saw as impediments to their well being. These included HIV and AIDS; low household incomes; food insecurity; child abuse; low participation of children in development activities; and the deteriorating political and socio-economic environment.

Our response to these issues is reflected in our 5 holistic programmatic interventions.

Plan Zimbabwe

Plan has been operating in Zimbabwe since 1986, helping poor children to access their rights to quality education, food, health services and safe water.

One of the key activities in Zimbabwe over the past decade has been to help address the food shortage that is affecting almost half of the country's 13,000,000 population.

We have been providing emergency food relief to children and families affected by the shortage, which has been partly due to low rainfall leading to a succession of poor harvests.
