Guided by the belief that every life has equal value, the Gates Foundation works to help all people lead healthy, productive lives. In developing countries, we work with partners tocreate impactful solutions so that people can take charge of their futures and achieve their full potential. In the United States, we aim to ensure that everyone—especially those with the fewest resources—has access to the opportunities needed to succeed in school and life.Based in Seattle, Washington, the foundation is led by CEO Mark Suzman, under the direction of Bill Gates and our governing board.
Plan International is an independent development and humanitarian organisation that stands with girls to tear down barriers, save lives
and build a world where equality for girls leads to progress for all.
Across the globe, girls face more risks and fewer choices.
Gains that took decades to secure — like staying in school,
choosing if or when to marry or have children, and shaping
their own futures — are under threat.
And in conflict zones, girls are being deliberately attacked —
killed in schools and homes, abducted, starved or recruited
by armed groups — simply because they are girls.
But girls aren’t backing down. They’re raising their voices
and leading the fight for change.
Plan backs girls to lead on what matters most: a
quality education, access to clean water and enough
to eat, safety from violence and the freedom to live
out their childhood without being forced into marriage
or motherhood.
For over 85 years and with deep community roots, strong partnerships
and decades of trust, Plan’s work saves lives in the
moment and evolves with girls through every stage
of life.
