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.

We fight with love. The Salvation Army is an evangelical part of the universal Christian Church. Our message is based on the Bible, our ministry is motivated by the love of God, and our mission is to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ as we meet human needs in His name without discrimination. Every program we offer is rooted in our passion to serve God by serving the lost, the vulnerable, the needy, the poor, the hurting, the helpless, and the hopeless. Material and spiritual support is our standard - social services delivered with compassion is our model - anyone in need is our prerequisite. Eighty-two cents of every dollar we raise supports our various programs. We are a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization, and contributions are deductible for Federal Income Tax Purposes to the extent permitted under Section 170(b)(2) for corporations.
