Plan International Regional Alumni Network

Wishing all our followers a prosperous new year. We are grateful for your continuous support😊

@PlanSierraLeone recently completed a validation of its Sponsorship Alumni Operation Guide to strengthen alumni engagement and drive collective action for lasting impact. The guide ensures alumni become active partners in advocacy, leadership, and social impact initiatives.

Guinea-Bissau Alumni have established a social enterprise unit, specializing in the production of high-quality school bags and offering top tier catering services to individuals and institutions. Notably, all revenue generated is reinvested into alumni-led initiatives. @PlanWACA

over 100 former Sponsored Children (SCs) graduated in Sierra Leone and transitioned to join our Alumni Network with a strong commitment to creating an impact in their communities and mentoring fellow SCs. For these graduates, this milestone symbolizes empowerment & leadership.

Under our new initiative dubbed “Gender Transformative Football Project” being implemented in Guinea, our team have setup 18 football clubs in 9 schools. Through this initiative, we hope to dismantle gender stereotypes and norms and empower the youth to champion gender equality.

After an intriguing project idea pitching competition among 6 countries on 3 key thematic areas; Climate Change, SRHR & Gender Equality, the Alumni Network of Ghana, Togo & Guinea emerged winners & are expected to receive special grant to implement their project ideas.

Youth Centeredness is about ensuring that young people are at the centre of decision making and that our voices are heard. It's about recognizing that young people are the experts on their own experiences and needs, and giving them a seat at the table.

🎓Education is the cornerstone of empowerment! By involving youth in humanitarian efforts, we're not only shaping their future, but also fortifying communities against crises. It's a win-win! 📚🌟 #EducationForAll #YouthInAction
