Today was a wonderful and humbling day. I'm honoured to announce that I am the newest Global Goodwill Ambassador for @unicef. Not only am I one of the youngest ambassadors ever appointed, but I'm also the first ever ambassador from the digital space. Having said that, I feel a responsibility to bring a fresh perspective to this role. I'm excited not just for myself, but for my amazing audience to join me in doing our part to make the world a better place for all children. Many youth around the world don't have the privileges we do and therefore it's our job to work for them, fight for them and speak up for them. I've got projects stirring in my mind but when it comes to humanity, we're in this together! So if you have any ideas at all to support children's needs around the world please comment below and I'll be sure to engage. Thank you ?? #ForEveryChild

The popular YouTuber promised she would definitely do a few videos in Hindi. The YouTuber who has a massive 11 million followers on her YouTube channel, said she would try to add Hindi subtitles in her English videos to increase the reach.

Lilly has now joined the club of famous UNICEF Goodwill Ambassadors such as Priyanka Chopra, David Beckham, Jackie Chan, Orlando Bloom, Liam Neeson, Ricky Martin, and Shakira.
