Unicef UK Ambassador

Keeley joined us in Jordan to visit children and families living in the Za’atari refugee camp and host communities in Amman. Many of these children and families had fled their homes in Syria due to the ongoing conflict.
Keeley saw Unicef’s work in providing education and child-friendly spaces which offer learning support and psychological care, as well as being a safe space to play.
