The singer has also made a $100,000 donation to the U.S. Fund for UNICEF, alongside other celebrities, including actress Vanessa Hudgens.
“Emergencies make headlines, but the recovery continues long after the news cameras leave,” said Rihanna in a statement. “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.”
Rihanna adds, “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.”
