Plan has been operating in Pakistan since 1997, helping marginalised children to access their rights to health, education, livelihood and protection.

We work with around 100 communities across the country, benefiting about 21,000 children.

We have just launched Plan’s global advocacy campaign Learn Without Fear in Pakistan and are focusing on the issue of corporal punishment. We are working with the government and district education departments to help eliminate this practice from schools, so that we can encourage children to go to school and diminish the alarming dropout rate.
