From next month, monthly sponsorship will increase from €22 to €25, unless you choose otherwise.
That €3 increase works out at just 10 cents a day — but in communities facing rising food prices, funding cuts, and growing humanitarian crises, it makes an enormous difference.
2024 marked a turning point globally, with severe cuts to overseas aid, escalating humanitarian crises and conflict, and soaring food and living costs in vulnerable communities
For the first time since Plan International Ireland was founded in 2003, we must increase the cost of sponsorship. This decision was not taken lightly. We know many families here in Ireland are also feeling financial pressure.
But without this adjustment, we risk falling behind at a time when children need us most.
On a recent visit to Liberia, our team saw first-hand the impact of rising living costs on families already facing hardship. Yet teachers, caregivers and women leaders continue to show extraordinary commitment to protecting children and advancing their rights.
With your support, we can continue to:
Provide safe, quality education
Protect children from harm and exploitation
Deliver emergency food and humanitarian assistance
Support girls’ rights and gender equality
Strengthen local leadership and community resilience
Last year, 95 cents of every €1 went directly to protecting and advancing the rights of children and vulnerable communities.
Your sponsorship is not just a donation. It’s stability. It’s protection. It’s opportunity.
If you are in a position to continue your sponsorship at €25 per month, you don’t need to do anything. The increase will take effect in at least four weeks.
If this increase isn’t possible for you right now, we completely understand.
