## Resource

Scottish actor Martin Compston is using his platform to fight a silent killer—drowning—in Bangladesh, after witnessing the heartbreak of a family who lost their six-year-old daughter, Maimuna. Moved by their story, he’s now championing UNICEF’s SwimSafe program, which teaches kids lifesaving swimming, rescue, and first aid skills—and empowers parents to keep children safe near water. Compston visited a Dhaka project where the program’s impact was clear, and his powerful story will be featured in a film airing during Soccer Aid to rally global support. Since launching in 2005, SwimSafe has reached hundreds of thousands of children, and Compston, now a father himself, says it’s not just about survival—it’s about giving kids the tools to thrive safely.
