Real Madrid forward Endrick has been appointed as UNICEF’s newest ambassador in Brazil, the organization announced on Wednesday.
The 20-year-old joins a select group of Brazilian public figures who use their platforms to raise awareness about children’s rights and support UNICEF’s initiatives throughout the country. Fellow ambassadors include television presenter Maísa, actor Renato Aragão, singer Daniela Mercury, actor Lázaro Ramos, actor Bruno Gagliasso, and the iconic comic character Mónica.
UNICEF
has worked with ambassadors around the world since 1954, selecting artists, athletes, and other influential personalities who are not only widely recognized but also demonstrate a genuine commitment to improving the lives of children and adolescents.
According to UNICEF Brazil representative Joaquín González-Alemán, Endrick’s influence and example make him an ideal choice for the role.
“The work of UNICEF ambassadors is fundamental to mobilizing society in defense of children and adolescents. Endrick is an exemplary young man who inspires millions of children and adolescents and has enormous potential to convey messages about children’s rights throughout Brazil.”
Endrick described the appointment as one of the proudest moments of his young career, emphasizing the responsibility that comes with representing the organization.
“Receiving the invitation from UNICEF has been much more than an honor. It is a great responsibility. I know that millions of children dream every day of a better future, just as I once did. I want to use my voice to show them that they can believe in themselves, fight for their goals, and never give up. No child should be left behind. I am very happy to be part of this mission.”
The partnership marks the beginning of Endrick’s work with UNICEF on campaigns designed to promote and protect the rights of children and teenagers in Brazil. In his new role, the Real Madrid attacker will participate in awareness initiatives and help mobilize public support for issues affecting young people across the country.
