Description: Plan International began as a small effort to shelter children caught in the Spanish Civil War. Today it is one of the world's largest child-focused development organisations. This book traces that path from wartime Spain through the foster-parent sponsorship model to the structure of a global federation working across dozens of countries. Along the way it looks at the landmark "Because I Am a Girl" campaign, community-led development in practice, and humanitarian response, then asks hard questions about accountability, transparency, and the work that remains before 2030.
