Ferretti Group and David Beckham’s
Ferretti Group and David Beckham’s fund for UNICEF come together for the children of El Salvador
7: The David Beckham UNICEF Fund and Ferretti Group have come together for a charity auction, where a magnificent limited edition Riva Anniversario boat will be auctioned, and the entire proceeds will help protect children in El Salvador whose lives are threatened by violence.
The collaboration springs from David Beckham’s role as a Goodwill Ambassador for UNICEF, a role he has held since 2005. UNICEF works to save children’s lives, defend their rights, and to help children fulfil their potential in almost every country on Earth.
To mark his 10 years as a Goodwill Ambassador, David set up the 7 Fund with UNICEF, to support children around the world by providing better health care, education, and protection.
In El Salvador, the 7 Fund is working in the six most violent areas to help prevent and respond to acts of violence against young people. The goal is to help children go to school, to make public spaces safer and child friendly, and to strengthen child-protection services and make them more accessible.
The 7 Fund aims to provide every child in these six areas with the chance to play sport in safety, so they can develop resilience and learn vital life-skills.
Ferretti Group is committed to supporting David Beckham’s 7 Fund for UNICEF.
“I am so proud of my work with UNICEF. As a Goodwill Ambassador and founder of the 7 Fund, I have seen first-hand the vital work that UNICEF does around the world. UNICEF is there every day in homes, schools and communities, helping children realise and fulfil their potential. I am so pleased to see how we are helping children in El Salvador. Thank you to the Ferretti Group for supporting this cause, which is so close to my heart.”

Riva Anniversario is the special, limited-edition boat created by Riva to celebrate the shipyard’s 180th anniversary as well as 60 years of the iconic Aquarama. Only 18 units will be made, and one has been immediately earmarked to support the 7 Fund for UNICEF’s work. This will raise vital funds for El Salvador’s most vulnerable children and raise greater awareness of their situation and the work that UNICEF is doing for the most disadvantaged children and adolescents.
