Our family has grown!


Plan - East Africa. Staff speaks with a family

In 2011, the HUMANITARIAN COALITION was pleased to welcome a new member to our team: Plan Canada.

Founded in 1937, Plan is one of the world’s oldest and largest international development agencies, with a focus on improving the lives of children and their families, a proven track record in humanitarian response, and a commitment to ending global poverty. Plan works in 68 countries and 58,000 communities. This works touches the lives of as many as 119.3 million people, including 56 million children.

With Plan Canada’s history and experience, the HUMANITARIAN COALITION has expanded its reach to improve our response to children and families traumatized by disaster. Through our membership, we now have a combined presence in more than 120 countries.

Comprised of CARE Canada, Oxfam Canada, Oxfam-Québec, Plan Canada and Save the Children Canada, the HUMANITARIAN COALITION brings together leading Canadian humanitarian organizations to effectively and efficiently assist as many people as possible in times of emergency.

As we enter a new year, the HUMANITARIAN COALITION hopes more great organizations like Plan will join our efforts. Because together, we can save more lives.
