"Having been a fan and supporter of UNICEF's work over the years, I am honored to join them in helping children who have been impacted by Typhoon Haiyan. More than five million kids in the Philippines need our help. UNICEF is there for them today, and for the long road ahead, and so am I."
The singer has also gone on to encourage her fans to donate to Typhoon Haiyan relief efforts.
"Millions of children in the #Philippines need our help," Rihanna previously tweeted. "I'm there. NAVY, are you?"
