WASHINGTON, D.C. / AGILITYPR.NEWS / November 13, 2025 / As girls around the world face increasing barriers to education, health care and safety, Plan International USA is launching its annual Gifts of Hope catalog, a holiday giving campaign that turns simple purchases into life-changing support for children and families.

Each gift in the catalog funds a specific program in areas such as education, health, emergency response and livelihood support. Items range from school supply kits to clean water solutions, giving donors a clear way to contribute to long-term, community-led change.

Last year, Plan International reached more than 49 million children, including 26 million girls, in more than 80 countries.

“We are in danger of sending girls backward, and it is happening around the world. Every day, they are losing ground and losing access to classrooms, health care and safety. Gifts of Hope gives us a way to push forward again. Every gift helps a girl stay in school, build confidence and shape her own future,” said Shanna Marzilli, president and CEO of Plan International USA.

Highlights from the 2025 catalog include:

• $25 – Backpack filled with school supplies that keeps a girl learning year-round 
• $30 – Menstrual health kits for three girls, so they can manage their periods with dignity and stay in school 
• $75 – Emergency medical care for children in crisis zones 
• $80 – Jump-start a farming business for five families, helping parents earn steady incomes and feed their children 
• $90 – Training for five teachers, strengthening classrooms and improving learning for hundreds of children 
• $185 – Smart pump device to provide clean water for a community 

Plan’s work focuses on supporting children, especially girls, who often face the highest risks during conflict, climate-related disasters and economic instability. Gifts of Hope provides an accessible way for donors to make a meaningful impact while supporting locally led solutions.

“This campaign gives donors transparency and choice,” said Katherine Williford, chief development officer at Plan International USA. “Each item represents real impact, whether it is keeping a girl in school, supporting a young mother or helping a family rebuild after crisis.”
