"When I visited Madhya Pradesh, district Harda in India last summer on my first Unicef field visit, I saw firsthand how access to education changed the outlooks for children and their families. We owe all children the chance to go to school," Lilly said in a statement.

"When I returned home, I committed to help champion their cause on my own and with every resource available to me. I'm honoured to work with Unicef and grateful to YouTube for partnering with me to advocate for children's access to education and to spread awareness about why it's essential for local communities, India and the world," she added.
