As a supporter of Unicef’s work for children, Tom met with Guinean children and families to hear their stories and see how Unicef supports them on the ground. He visited several Unicef projects, finding out about our work in child protection, education, water and sanitation, hunger and malnutrition.

In February 2015, Tom travelled with Unicef to South Sudan to see our work to protect children in emergencies. Over 16,000 children have been forcibly recruited into South Sudan’s war and over 250,000 children are malnourished. Tom has called on the UK government to step up and do more to protect children from violence and protect their education in emergencies.
