Emergency Response Manager
Plan International is an independent development and
humanitarian organisation that advances children’s rights and equality
for girls.
We believe in the power and potential of every child. But
this is often suppressed by poverty, violence, exclusion and
discrimination. And it’s girls who are most affected.
Working together with children, young people, our
supporters and partners, we strive for a just world, tackling the root
causes of the challenges facing girls and all vulnerable children.
We support children’s rights from birth until they reach
adulthood. And we enable children to prepare for – and respond to –
crises and adversity. We drive changes in practice and policy at local,
national and global levels using our reach, experience and knowledge.
We have been building powerful partnerships for children for over 75 years, and are now active in more than 70 countries.

UNHCR in the area of Child Protection for Nduta and Mtendeli refugee
