Plan Paraguay: what we do

Plan’s work in Paraguay is based on an approach of respect for human rights, democracy and citizen participation, in order to help children and society to find solutions to their problems.
We implement 6 programmes based on this approach:

• integrated health and education
• child protection 
• strengthening infant and youth development organisations 
• safe and healthy environments 
• household economic security 
• food security and nutrition.

This programme implements actions in the area of health and education for children. Health work focuses on childhood illness, safe maternity, early child development and HIV and AIDS prevention.

We also help children to receive a quality education through activities that improve school environments, link families with teaching/learning processes for their children, develop new teaching skills, and promote child participation in school management.

Plan Paraguay

Plan has been operating in Paraguay since 1994, helping poor children and their communities to access their rights to education, health, protection, food security and sustainable livelihoods.

Paraguay is the second poorest country in South America. Approximately 1,000,000 people, or 18% of the population, live off less than US$2 per day.

Plan works in Paraguay with more than 24,370 sponsored children - and through them we benefit an additional 150,000 people living in 470 rural communities in the poorest districts of the country
