Who are Plan International?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Plan International is an independent child rights and humanitarian organisation committed to children living a life free of poverty, violence and injustice.<\/p>\n

We actively unite children, communities and other people who share our mission to make positive lasting changes in children\u2019s and young people\u2019s lives. We support children to gain the skills, knowledge and confidence they need to claim their rights to a fulfilling life, today and in the future. We place a specific focus on girls and women, who are most often left behind.<\/p>\n

We have been building powerful partnerships for children for more than 75 years and are now active in more than 70 countries.<\/p>\n

How have Plan International responded to the Ukraine Crisis?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since March 2022, Plan International has been responding to the crisis in partnership with civil society organisations in Poland, Romania, and Moldova to meet the needs of those affected by the crisis as well as host communities, and now we are ready to extend our operations in Ukraine itself.<\/p>\n

We are supporting an integrated education and child protection response, incorporating mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS), with cash and voucher assistance (CVA) as a modality.<\/p>\n

What can you bring?<\/strong><\/p>\n

We know that this crisis will have devastating long-term effects on women and children in the region and Plan International will play a vital role in responding to these needs as we continue to establish operations in each of the four countries. We plan to transition from the current support provided globally by Plan International\u2019s teams to locally based, longer term staffing.<\/p>\n
