UNICEF goodwill ambassador David Beckham, who created the 7 fund in 2015 to help transform the lives of children around the world, has announced he'll be launching programmes in Indonesia, El Salvador, Nepal and Uganda to help children who are subjected to bullying, violence, marriage and missed education.

During his visit to Semarang in Central Java, Beckham met 15 year old Sripun and heard how she has become a leader in her school to prevent bullying. The former footballer commented 'I spent time with an amazing young girl – Sripun – who was voted by her peers to take part in an anti-bullying programme to help stop violence in schools. She's a change-maker and is now helping to create positive learning environments for other students to feel safe'.
