Recently shared on his Instagram, David Beckham traveled to Africa to visit children with HIV; a cause he personally began supporting last year with the launch of his charity 7: The David Beckham UNICEF Fund. The campaign aims to raise funds and awareness for vulnerable children by focusing on seven different countries and seven different initiatives.
Beckham has travelled to Africa several times, but the reason for his travel this time was due to the drought crisis currently affecting areas of Eastern and southern Africa and threatening the lives of children and families who are already at risk. David is acting as the voice for the children and families urging those more fortunate to not forget about the help needed by these children—food, medicine, clean water.
While this is Beckham’s first year of 7, it is upwards of his tenth year as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador. You can read more on 7: The David Beckham UNICEF Fund here. David’s goal is for 7 to help change children’s lives by using his voice and influence.
