Donate to UNICEF!

As you all know Keeley has recently visited Africa with the charity UNICEF, whose life-saving work saves children every single day. All donations to this years Soccer Aid will be matched pound for pound by the UK Government, so the more money we donate, the more children UNICEF can help.

While Keeley was in Africa, she spent time in one particular place called Djibouti where a large population of people now live in slums just outside the capital. These people used to live in the more rural areas of Djibouti but the farmers livestock all died of thirst when the rivers and lakes dried up. They then moved to the capital to look for work but due to rising prices of oil, food and rent they could not afford to live in the capital and so this slum became their home.

Over one million children in the Sahel region of West Africa lack proper food and could die within months. Just £20 could pay for a whole month of lifesaving food for a severely malnourished child!
