“Learning is power. No one can take it from you.”

Hajara knows just how powerful an education can be.

After being withdrawn from school, she spent years at home while her brothers continued their education. Over time, she lost the ability to read and write and began to believe that early marriage was simply what her future held.

But Hajara had other ambitions.

After joining an accelerated learning programme, she rebuilt her literacy and numeracy skills and returned to formal education.

“Before, I couldn't even write my own name. Now I can read storybooks. I can write letters.”

Today, Hajara dreams of becoming a teacher — and of helping other girls see that their futures don't have to be decided for them.

🚨 Our teams are assessing the impact of the devastating earthquake in Colombia.

Across affected communities, homes have been damaged or destroyed, schools and health facilities have been affected, and families have been forced to leave places they once felt safe.

Plan International, through Fundación PLAN, is on the ground assessing the damage and humanitarian needs, with particular attention to children and adolescents, especially girls.

These assessments are critical to understanding what families need most and how we can respond effectively. Early identified needs include emergency shelter, safe water, essential supplies, healthcare, and mental health and psychosocial support.

Children and families affected by the earthquake in Colombia need our support.

Every young person deserves the opportunity to continue learning — including young mothers.

In northern Burkina Faso, the SQRIBE programme implemented by Plan International Burkina Faso, is helping teenage mothers stay in education by providing childcare alongside educational and psychosocial support directly on school grounds.

Fadilatou is a student and young mother at Ouahigouya Municipal High School. During the morning break, she can breastfeed her daughter Yassimine before returning to her studies, while community volunteers help care for children during classes.

The support helps young mothers manage some of the barriers they face — from childcare and exam preparation to stigma, stress and isolation.

💙 This International Youth Day, we celebrate young people like Fadilatou and their determination to continue learning and shape their futures.

SQRIBE is supported by Irish Aid and implemented with local partners, including OCADES CARITAS.

🚨 Communities across Colombia are facing the devastating impact of a 7.4 magnitude earthquake that struck the west of the country on 10 August.

Homes have collapsed or been damaged, schools and health facilities have been affected, and families have been evacuated as authorities continue search and rescue operations and assess the scale of the emergency.

Immediate needs identified include shelter, safe water, food, healthcare and mental health and psychosocial support.

Plan International, through Fundación PLAN, has operations in the earthquake-affected area and is monitoring the situation and assessing a possible humanitarian response, with particular attention to children and adolescents, especially girls.

💙 Our thoughts are with the children, families and communities whose lives have been changed overnight.

We will share further updates as verified information becomes available.

🎒 In just a few weeks, children across Ireland will be getting ready to go back to school.

New school bags. New books. New classrooms.

For children in Gaza, going back to school looks very different.

With over 93% of schools damaged or unusable, children continue to learn wherever they can — holding onto their education despite the destruction around them.

Working with our local partner, Ma'an Development Center, we support 1,700 children through educational programmes, including providing essential learning supplies.

For children living through crisis, education is more than learning. It can provide routine, connection and hope for the future.

💙 Every child deserves the chance to learn. Your donation can help us continue supporting children and families in Gaza.

119 MILLION GIRLS are still out of school.

Yet educating girls can increase their future earnings, reduce child marriage and contribute to healthier, more prosperous communities.

Imagine the potential.

Join us in keeping girls learning.

The headlines have moved on. But we haven't.

For thousands of children and families in Venezuela, the emergency continues.

Weeks after the devastating earthquakes, many families are still living with damaged homes, uncertainty and the daily challenge of rebuilding their lives. Children remain at increased risk of violence, exploitation and losing access to the safety and stability every child deserves.

That's why we're still there.

Together with our local partners, we're providing emergency shelter, child protection services, psychosocial support, hygiene kits and safe spaces for children as communities begin to recover.

Because recovery doesn't end when the news cycle does.

You can help children and families in Venezuela recover. Every donation helps provide protection, shelter and hope when it's needed most.

We don't have to imagine it. We already know it's possible.

We've seen what's possible when girls have the support they deserve. Girls become leaders, entrepreneurs, teachers, advocates and changemakers—strengthening their families, their communities and the world around them.

Now imagine if every girl had that same opportunity.

Together, we can help make it a reality.

Because there is no freedom until girls are equal.

While helping, they have witnessed the challenges that women and girls face during a crisis: “Many children are alive today because their mothers shielded them,” says Sara.

The help cannot end today. or tomorrow. Donate to help communities like Andrea and Sara did.
