Project Manager (WISE) at Plan International

Company Description

Plan International is an independent humanitarian and development organization that works to improve the lives of children and girls.

We believe that every child has power and potential. But poverty, violence, exclusion, and discrimination often get in the way of this. And girls are the ones who suffer the most.

Working with children, young people, our supporters, and partners, we try to make the world a more fair place by getting to the root of the problems girls and other vulnerable children face.

We support the rights of children from the time they are born until they are adults. And we help kids get ready for and deal with crises and hard times. We use our reach, experience, and knowledge to make changes in practice and policy on a local, national, and global scale.

We have been building strong partnerships with children for more than 85 years, and we now work in more than 75 countries.
