Our work with young people
Youth are central to our work and advise us at every stage of what we do to shift power and strengthen our effectiveness, reach and networks.
Why partner with Global Girls Foundation?
You are joining forces with a leading children’s rights organisation that strives for a just world by advancing girls’ rights and equality for girls. With more than 85 years of experience in over 80 countries, Plan International has what it takes to tackle today’s challenges.
We are dedicated to building on your experience and connecting you with the people and projects that will allow you to have the biggest possible impact.
Too often, girls and young people are ignored and silenced, their views discounted, and their needs passed over. But it’s critical that girls’ and young women’s voices are heard if we are to achieve gender equality.
We champion girls and young people to drive the change they need in their lives. Through impactful philanthropic partnerships we tackle the most pressing issues of our time in a sustainable way – and always with young people at the table from the beginning.
Unique partnerships
We partner with passionate change makers who want to do more than give – who want to contribute their experiences and expertise to impactful projects.
We have access to the width and breadth of Plan International’s locations, projects and programmes and can ensure that you have impact where your experience and expertise give you a unique ability to make lasting change happen.
Every Global Girls Foundation partnership is exclusive, adaptive and shaped through collaboration with individual changemakers, because we understand that you offer a unique ability to have impact in a way that others cannot.
We will connect you to the difference you want to make, leveraging your skills and expertise to maximise the impact of our partnership, create sustainable change and accelerate equality for girls.
As a changemaker, you can fuel this movement, so girls can lead, thrive and shape a future where we are all equal. We will support you in your individual philanthropic journey and involve you in a meaningful and impactful way.

How your partnership can have impact
A new pathway to teaching
“Some people don’t believe in female education, but we are trying our best to convince them that it’s important. Having more female teachers shows that women can do everything.” Eunice, Sierra Leone
Eunice and 200 other young women have been catching up on the learning they missed and have become certified as schoolteachers.
Only 28% of teachers in Sierra Leone are female yet it’s been shown that when girls have female teachers, they are more likely to attend school and excel.
They’re also more likely to bring forward their concerns and get the support they need. “Sometimes they feel more comfortable talking to me about the issues they are experiencing than even to their parents,” Eunice says.
With your support, we can help shape the next generation of female teachers globally.
