At the moment he promotes access to clean drinking water for people in developing countries.

‘UNICEF doesn’t just deliver humanitarian aid, which is what they are known for all over the world. They also educate and provide tools which help women and children face challenges specific to their own lives. “I responded to how UNICEF works as much as I did to the work itself. I look forward to learning more and to supporting UNICEF any way I can,” the actor said.

“Advocacy from UNICEF Goodwill Ambassadors helps build momentum to improve the lives of children around the world,” UNICEF Executive Director, Ann M. Veneman said. “We are proud to have  Orlando Bloom  as one of the strong voices for vulnerable children.”

Mr. Bloom was born in Canterbury, Kent, in the United Kingdom, and began studying art and drama from an early age – first at the British-American Drama Academy and then at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama.
