Lionel Messi and Serena Williams team-up for charitable campaign '1 in 11' as they seek to improve education for children

Lionel Messi has teamed up with tennis star Serena Williams in a new campaign to help vulnerable children around the world reach their potential through sport and education.

 

The '1 in 11' campaign, so called because it represents the number of children worldwide who are unable to attend school, is the result of a collaboration between UNICEF, the FC Barcelona Foundation, and Reach Out To Asia. 

The campaign will raise awareness and funds for educational programmes around the world.
