The pop star – who is from the Caribbean island of Barbados – has been left extremely distressed by the earthquakes which have hit Haiti leaving tens of thousands of people dead or injured.
Appearing on Oprah Winfrey’s TV talk show, Rihanna said: 'Often in a tragedy like this, it’s the children who suffer the most. They have no way to get food, they’re helpless. The children are the future.'
The 21-year-old singer – who appeared on the programme with Wyclef Jean, who was born in Haiti – also stressed the help provided to the Caribbean island needs to be long-term.
She added: 'I want everybody to do what they can right now. But it’s what’s going to happen six months from now that’s really going to count.' During the show, Rihanna performed a cover version of Bob Marley’s 'Redemption Song’ and the track is now available to download from websites Oprah.com, iTunes, and her personal site with all proceeds going to Haiti.
