Eastern and Southern Africa

Plan's Eastern and Southern Africa region stretches from Zimbabwe all the way up to Albania. Plan works with over 250,000 sponsored children in the region, spread out over 12 countries, speaking more than 200 different languages. Deserts, highlands, palm studded beaches, savannas, tropical rain forests and urban jungles; you will find them all here.
