Why doesn Plan publish photos of children to be sponsored?
Poverty does not discriminate and nor should we Plan does not encourage the selection of children for sponsorship on the basis of their physical appearance. The best way to choose is to compare the statistics and information on our work in each region. Plan respects people’s rights and dignity It is of utmost importance that the safety, privacy and dignity of sponsored children are protected at all times, which is why Plan does not publish their photos or full names in public, unprotected areas of our website. However, all new child sponsors who sign-up online can view their sponsor child and family photos and details by logging into MyPlan – our secure supporters area of the website. View a sample child profile in MyPlan. All sponsors also receive in the post: • A photo and information about your child and a sponsorship welcome kit; and • An annual update direct from the field with photos and information about your sponsor child and about their circumstances and their community.
