Work in Developing Countries
An innocent face and a carefree childhood are what every child deserves. However, many children in developing countries are deprived of their basic rights, proper education and play time. Instead, many of them are under the plights of malnutrition, out-of-school, child labour and early marriage. Join “Plan with Children” to make difference to children’s lives together.

Education
Unlock opportunity for our children through education
In Cambodia, nearly 14% of the population lives in poverty, and 90% of them live in rural areas. Many Cambodians have been lured to work in Thailand illegal fishing industry and the children following their parents may end up working as child labour and droping out of school.
• Set up learning centres to provide language support and life skills training so that the children can adapt to their new school lives in Thai public primary schools.
Early Childhood Development
Ensure children to receive proper nutrition for healthy growth and development
In Rakhine State, the western part of Myanmar, a total of 50% of children are stunted, 38% are underweight and 11% are malnourished and only 1% of all children in the state receive adequate nutrition. Malnutrition causes retarded development and insufficient cognitive development in children, and the effects are irreversible.

Ending Violence
Help conflict-stricken children gain a new lease of life

Skills and Decent Work
