UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador
Priyanka Chopra recently visited drought-hit
Kenya and shared a heart-wrenching video underlining the growing water and hunger crisis in the nation. But, being a mother, the former Miss World says the condition affects her differently.
“I am very uneasy today. My mind is in a million places at one time; I am really feeling on the edge. It’s been this way since I boarded my flight from LA. I am in Kenya with UNICEF to see the first-hand the severe crisis that is unfolding. And as a new mother, it really hits differently. I know it’s going to be tough, but I want to take you on this journey.” she said in the video post during her visit to obtain first-hand information about the situation.
Taking to Instagram to share the plight of the children in the country, Priyanka wrote, “Children are starving to death, and millions are on the brink of starvation. This is the face of the climate crisis, and here in Kenya, it’s happening right now. But there is hope, and there are solutions. Over the next few days, I’ll be showing @unicef’s immense efforts happening on the ground to save lives. But in order to reverse this unprecedented crisis, money is desperately needed to ensure the good work continues.”
Further requesting her fans and followers to donate to the cause, Priyanka added, “Please click the link in my bio and donate. In the words of Licbeg Kisika, a teacher I met today who is struggling to fund the school he runs in Sopel village with UNICEF, “What you think is small is the small that I don’t have.” I have donated, and I hope you will too.”
Meanwhile, on the work front, Priyanka was last seen in The Matrix Resurrections and will next be seen in Citadel, Ending Things, It’s All Coming Back To Me and Jee Le Zaraa.
