About Plan International Rwanda
Plan International is an independent development and humanitarian organization that advances children’s rights 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 it’s the 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 80 years and are now active in more than 75 countries. We have been operating in Rwanda since 2007, Plan International Rwanda operates in 3 program Units in Bugesera, Gatsibo, and Nyaruguru Districts and 5 Refugee camps.
