Plan Perú: what we do

Plan's work in Peru covers 5 key areas, all of which are rooted in the rights of the child:

• children’s health
• learning for life
• citizenship strengthening
• sustainable livelihoods
• child rights, protection and governance.

We work to improve the development of boys and girls in the under 5 age category as well as the care of pregnant women, mainly by promoting healthy practices, early childhood education, good nutrition and enabling a caring environment at home and in the community.
