FOOTIE legend David Beckham has marked 10 years of campaigning for Unicef by launching his own children’s charity.

      

And the superstar revealed he will tour war zones with his four kids in tow in a bid to show them ‘real life’ as he raises cash and awareness.
His eldest sons Brooklyn, 15, and Romeo, 12, could visit some of the world’s most dangerous countries as part of the new Seven campaign.
Becks told the Daily Star: “The children will be getting involved because I’m going to make them.
“But they are excited about that.
“They know exactly what I’m announcing today and what needs to be done.”
The 39-year-old revealed he had never sugar-coated the suffering he saw when he discussed previous Unicef trips with his children.
His new fund, named after his lucky football shirt number, will focus on helping seven countries including Burkina Faso, El Salvador and Papua New Guinea.
David added: “Romeo and Brooklyn are old enough to understand what’s going on in the world and how they can help.
“Brooklyn only said to me on the school run this morning ‘I want to go on a trip, when can I go on a trip?’ So they understand it, they respect it, they get it.”
The sportsman said he always takes photos on his travels to explain his charity work to younger kids Cruz, nine, and Harper, three.

    

His campaign was inspired by a visit to the scene of Typhoon Haiyan, which left 1.3 million children homeless in the Philippines and killed thousands more.
David said: “You don’t really experience devastation until you’re on the ground, until you’re actually in the place where it’s happened.
“The Philippines, it was two and a half months after the Typhoon so it was so fresh, people were still scared, devastated, had lost family members.
“I saw a father stood at a grave and there was 11 family members that he’d lost. You can see the grief, it’s horrendous. It really is terrible.

The retired England legend has also been to South Africa and Sierra Leone as a Unicef Goodwill Ambassador.
Last night he vowed to work with Unicef for at least another decade, calling 7: The David Beckham Unicef Fund a ‘high point’ of his career.

   

David said: “My fame, my success that I had on the field, opens doors for exactly things like this - the protection of children, the protection of women.”
He added: “When people turn around to me and say ‘what’s the great thing about being David Beckham’, it’s exactly this situation.”
