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.
As an Equality Leader, your one-time investment plays a pivotal role in advancing girls’ equality. Your contribution goes into a dedicated Matched Giving fund, inspiring more supporters to donate during key campaigns like our Tax Appeal, Christmas Appeal, and Giving Day. This multiplies the impact of every dollar and drives transformative change for girls worldwide.
By leveraging your gift with those of others, your gift will effectively be doubled. It will inspire and motivate a whole new group of donors and amplify the power of girls. Because a better now for her means a better future for everyone.
Once you become an Equality Leader, we’ll keep you updated on progress, including key campaigns like the Tax and Christmas Appeals where matched giving, enabled by supporters like you, will continue to make a significant impact on girls’ education.
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.
This is truly one of the most effective and powerful ways to support girls’ equality.
We asked long-term Plan supporter, Stefan Dennis, why people should become Equality Leaders and he’s come up with a few reasons why.
With the support of our donors who share our commitment to gender justice and a fairer world for all, we achieved the following:
Equality Leaders are a committed group of supporters who step forward when the world begins to step back from girls.
They give at a higher level, $1,000 or more, to ensure girls in crisis can access safety, education, dignity, and hope.
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 Match Fund, and by pooling your gift with those of other passionate Equality Leaders, the impact of your gift becomes even more powerful.
That’s because this special fund you’ve helped create will be leveraged as a matched giving 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, creating a surge of support that simply wouldn’t otherwise happen, while also multiplying 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, and we can’t do it without you.
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.
This is the dream we are working to make a reality.
