His glamorous mother Victoria Beckham has always done her bit for charity, as the International Goodwill Ambassador for UNAIDS.

And it seems Brooklyn Beckham is following in his mother's footsteps, as he accompanied her on an emotional trip to Africa with the charity on Thursday.

The 17-year-old took to Instagram to post an adorable snap of him holding a newborn baby at the New Life Home Trust clinic in Kenya - who he then revealed had been sweetly named after him.

Honoured: Brooklyn Beckham, 17, revealed a newborn baby in an AIDS clinic in Kenya was named after him on Thursday, after accompanying his mother on a charity trip

Brooklyn, kitted out in a UNAIDS white T-shirt and trademark cap, was seen gently cradling a tiny baby in a soft blue blanket in the intimate snap.

Smiling slightly at the camera the budding photographer looked overwhelmed by the experience, especially since the newborn was then named after him in light of his help and support at the clinic.

He gushed in the caption: 'Humbled by the most inspiring family running @newlifehomeke - Honoured to meet newborn baby Brooklyn! @unaidsglobal @bornfreeafrica @victoriabeckham'

The photo gathered over 270,000 likes in two hours from fans and followers.

Emotional experience: The teen posted numerous photos informing fans of his trip, captioning a black and white shot of one of the 'beautiful babies' at the New Life Home Trust clinic

He later posted a shot of an adorable little boy sitting down and relaxing amongst the chaos of the clinic.

Continuing to inform followers of the inspiring experience, the eldest child of the Beckham clan wrote: 'Meeting the beautiful babies @newlifehomeke thx @unaids + @bornfreeafrica for bringing us on this field trip @victoriabeckham'

Brooklyn and his mother Victoria, 42, have jetted from London to Kenya to visit the New Life Home Trust and Beyond Zero clinics, in order to learn more about the therapies and treatments available for children and parents with HIV.

The designer has also been taking to her social media to promote the trip - posting a gorgeous black and white snap of her gazing lovingly at a suffering child, before adding another of her measuring a patient's heartbeat.

The trip comes as part of Victoria's role as the International Goodwill Ambassador for the charity, which she has held since 2014.

She said at the time of appointment: 'This is the beginning of an important journey for me. As a woman and a mother I have a responsibility to support other women.'

The former Spice Girl continues: 'I am proud and honoured to be working with UNAIDS in this new role to help to raise resources and awareness to support and empower women and children affected by HIV.'

While Victoria is happy to help and care for children in struggling countries, she recently admitted that she is 'done' with having kids of her own.

When asked if she planned to add to their family by Sunday Times Style Magazine, she admitted: 'No! I am done. People have been obsessed with it - she's getting divorced, she's pregnant, she's getting divorced, she's pregnant - ever since I met David.'

Victoria is also mother to sons Romeo, 13, and Cruz, 11, and daughter Harper, 5, who did not join them on the trip.

Speaking further about her four children Victoria revealed she found being a parent became harder the older they get.

She explained: 'The most important thing is to make sure that each child gets the individual attention that they need... I do feel that I'm being pulled in four different directions with the children.'

Close bond: Brooklyn and Victoria have spent a lot of time together recently, with the youngster uploaded an intimate shot of him hugging his mother on Instagram last week

Husband David Beckham, 41, remained at home with the rest of their offspring after a recent lengthy trip to Tokyo.

He was last seen taking Harper out in London to watch her brothers skate at their local park.

Meanwhile Brooklyn and Victoria have spent a lot of time together recently, documenting their mother-son bond frequently to fans.

Earlier this week, the stylish ex of Chloe Moretz shared another adorable black and white photo with his fashion designer mum's arms wrapped around his neck, to his loyal 8.6million followers.
