Taking Responsibility: Neuland’s Sponsorships with Plan International

Sustainability and social responsibility are deeply embedded in Neuland’s philosophy. For many years, the company has been committed to active development support through the sponsorship of three children. In close cooperation with the renowned aid organization Plan International, Neuland specifically supports children in Africa. The primary goal of these long-term partnerships is to secure the best possible future for the children involved. Neuland directly contributes to their education and provides opportunities they would not otherwise have access to.

About Plan International: Values, Vision and Approach

Plan International is one of the oldest and leading global children’s rights organizations. It is non-denominational and operates in more than 80 countries worldwide.

What Plan International stands for

  • Child protection: The uncompromising safeguarding of children’s rights is at the core of all projects.
  • Equality: A key focus is the empowerment and targeted support of girls.
  • Transparency: Efficient and accountable use of all donated funds.

The organisation's working approach

Plan International follows the principle of “helping people help themselves.” Rather than funding isolated individual measures, the organization strengthens entire communities. By building schools, wells, or medical clinics, entire regions benefit.

Local teams ensure long-term impact by actively involving communities in planning and implementation, securing sustainable development on the ground.

The Impact of Sponsorships on Children

A sponsorship with Plan International can fundamentally change a child’s life, opening the door to a self-determined future that would otherwise remain out of reach due to poverty.

  • Meeting basic needs: Access to clean drinking water, nutritious food, and medical care
  • Education as a foundation: Coverage of school fees, provision of learning materials, and construction of safe school facilities
  • Protection from exploitation: Awareness programs against child labor, early marriage, and violence
  • Community development: Strengthening families’ economic independence through microloans and training programs
