Becoming an Equality Leader is a simple, but powerful act.

By becoming an Equality Leader, you invest in a world where all children can thrive, and girls can take their rightful place as equals. Where girls can have a route back to an education and a better future. And you lead others to do the same, by inspiring and motivating more of our supporters through a Matched Giving incentive.

As an Equality Leader, your one-time investment plays a pivotal role in advancing girls’ equality. This will be the fifth year we have run this innovative campaign, and thanks to the generosity of our pioneering Equality Leaders, it has already seen outstanding success.

Here’s everything you need to know about becoming an Equality Leader

An Equality Leader wants long-term change for girls and their communities. They worry about the high price girls pay during times of crisis.

They’re passionate about tackling the barriers that stand in the way of girls getting an education and achieving their dreams. And they want to partner with us to make this world a reality.

If this sounds like you, you might just be an Equality Leader.
The way the match funding works is simple, but powerful.

Your Equality Leader investment is put into a special fund, and by pooling your gift with those of other passionate Equality Leaders, the impact of your gift becomes even more powerful.

This special fund you’ve helped create will be leveraged as a matched fund offer in our upcoming major appeals such as Giving Day, Tax or Christmas appeals. It will inspire and motivate more of our supporters to donate, and most importantly double your impact for girls in need.
Investing in girls’ education is life-changing for girls – empowering them to follow their dreams. But the ripple effects it can have for entire communities and countries has the potential to truly transform our world.

An educated girl is less likely to marry and have children early, which results in fewer maternal and infant deaths. An education also improves her future employment opportunities, which helps lift families out of poverty and future generations to thrive.

An educated girl can change the world.

This is the world our Equality Leaders are working towards, but we can’t do it without you.

How your support is helping girls like Kimberly

In Tsholotsho, Zimbabwe, Kimberly, an 11-year-old girl, faces the harsh realities of living in a drought-stricken area. With her parents working in Botswana, she lives with her grandmother and takes on the responsibility of housework before and after school. The severe drought, compounded by water shortages, threatens her education as many children in the community are forced to skip school to fetch water from distant boreholes. Kimberly’s biggest fear is that, should the water run out, she might have to stop going to school altogether.

“Plan International built us classroom blocks. No child has to learn outside when the sun is very hot,” Kimberly says.

Through these efforts, Plan helps ensure that children like Kimberly have access to a safe learning environment, even amidst climate crises. With dreams of becoming a nurse to help those in need, Kimberly hopes that her education will allow her to achieve a brighter future, one that climate change does not take away.
