During the Spanish Civil War in 1937, as many as 11,000 refugees a day passed the train station in Santander in Spain. Many orphans. Among them, was a boy whose father had written this note:
"This is JosÃÆ'Ã… © I'm his father.As Santander falls, I will be shot.Whoever finds my son, I beg him to take care of him for me."
A British journalist, John Langdon-Davies, met with orphans with this record and was inspired to find a 'Children's Parenting Plan for Children in Spain' to help children whose lives were disrupted by the war.
Langdon-Davies' organization expanded to help children from all over Europe displaced by the war, listening to their dreams and aspirations while equipping them with the skills and knowledge to improve their lives and create a better future. This approach remains central to Plan's plan today with 3.5 million families and their children in more than 25,000 communities in developing countries around the world.
Here is a short time line of Plan evolution:
1930 - The plan was established as a "Parenting Foster Plan for Children in Spain."
1940s - During World War II, the organization was known as the "Foster Parent Plan for War Children" and worked in England, helping displaced children from across Europe. After the war, Plan for extended assistance for children in France, Belgium, Italy, the Netherlands, Germany, Greece and briefly in Poland, Czechoslovakia and China.
1950s - As Europe recovers, Plan gradually moves out of these countries and opens new programs in less developed countries. It became "Foster Parent Plans Inc." to reflect the goal of bringing lasting change to the lives of needy children, regardless of their circumstances.
1960s - Canadian Parent Plans are founded in 1968. The plan extends its work to countries in South America and Asia. In 1962, First Lady First Lady, Jacqueline Kennedy was honorary chairman during Plan's Silver Jubilee.
1970s - In 1974, the global name became Plan International as a program that now stretches across South America, Asia and Africa.
1980s - Belgium, Germany, Japan and the United Kingdom join Canada, USA, Australia and the Netherlands as donor countries. The plan is recognized by the United Nations Economic and Social Council.
1990s - Planning office opened in France, Norway, Finland, Denmark, Sweden, and Republic of Korea.
2000s - The name Plan International evolves into a unified "Plan" and an integrated global identity created to help make organizations more recognizable worldwide. In 2006, Canada's Canadian Parenting Program also changed its name to Plan and logo updated to reflect this change of name.

Operation
Plan Canada tries to break the cycle of poverty by helping children and adults living in developing countries use their ideas, talents, and energy to shape their future. Before selecting the workplace, Plan Canada analyzes the public poverty statistics; Infant mortality rate (countries with more than 25 deaths per 1,000 live births given priority); Gross National Product (GNP) (GNP per capital must be less than $ 1,700USD); and other factors that are key elements in determining the long-term regional success of Plan Canada. With help from trained volunteers and donations from donors, Plan Canada helps community participants in a number of areas, including: building schools, educating teachers, digging wells, opening health clinics, providing vocational training, using technology to improve crop yields, giving people access small business loans, and providing disaster-related humanitarian assistance.
On average, Plan Canada works with communities for 10-12 years before discontinuing operations in the area. Supported by donors, Plan Canada helps children and families to become active participants in their community development.
