Street children
Street children are boys and girls using the street as their source of livelihood or home. Plan is working to ensure that children are not exposed to exploitative situations or forced to live in threatening environments
Water and environmental sanitation
Plan works with communities to provide safe drinking water, all forms of waste management, pest control and training on food hygiene
Education for all
Despite the global expansion of accessible education, millions of children from poor families are denied the right to basic education
Child labour
Children often play an important part in the economy of poor families, but this role should not entail excessive, exploitative or hazardous labour
Breast feeding
Around 60% of all deaths in children under five are caused by malnutrition and over 60% of these occur in the first year of life as a result of inappropriate feeding practices
