Ever since she joined the royal family by marrying Britain's Prince Andrew in 1986, Sarah, Duchess of York has worked extensively with charities in and outside the UK.
The writer and patron, who shares children Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie with her now-ex husband, founded her own organisation in 1993, named Children in Crisis.
It is through this charity, which joined forces with UK-based non-profit Street Child last year, that the duchess has been raising awareness for children around the world in need of education and support.
And next week, one of Street Child's campaigns will be put on the global stage thanks to the BBC's Radio 4.
Fatima, 16, a former child prisoner from Nigeria, has told her harrowing story to the radio station, which is featuring the story as part of its Appeal segment. The programme promotes and highlights the work of a chosen charity, and helps raise funds through its coverage.
"Delighted that Street Child will feature as next week’s Radio 4 Appeal," the Duchess of York wrote on her Instagram account, announcing the news.
Sarah added that the programme would feature "the heartbreaking story of Fatima who was abducted by Boko Haram and held captive for five years".
"Now supported by Street Child, Fatima is going to school for the first time and having counselling to help her deal with the trauma of her experiences," the royal added. "With your help, Street Child can continue to help those affected by the Boko Haram insurgency to rebuild their lives and provide children just like Fatima with an education."
Street Child has been working in Nigeria since 2016, with the goal of helping 23,000 children affected by the conflict back into education. Since it was founded in 2008, the charity says it has helped more than 200,000 children around the world go to school.
The Duchess of York has also supported schoolchildren in countries such as Afghanistan, Sierra Leone and Burundi, where Children in Crisis has built school and trained teachers.
