❓Humanitarian vs. Development: What’s the difference?
🏥Humanitarian: Immediate life-saving response (food, water, medicine). Needs-based.
🏗️Development: Long-term growth (infrastructure, energy). Strategy-based.
We save lives today so communities can build for tomorrow!

We are deeply alarmed by escalating conflict in Iran & the Middle East. Reported attacks on schools & the killing of children are devastating. Children must never be targets. We join the UN in calling for immediate ceasefire & full protection of civilians. plan-international.org/news/…

In 2025, girls faced numerous threats – from rollbacks on hard-won rights to escalating conflicts and crises – but they didn’t back down. They fought harder than ever to defend their futures and lead change💪🏽
See how they did it:
