Pink has been named the newest ambassador to the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), the singer/songwriter announced during a live appearance on "Good Morning America" on Monday.

"I’ve always wanted to work with UNICEF," Pink said on "GMA." "It’s the one organization over the last 15 years just consistently been in mind for all the amazing things that they do and timing is everything and it worked out."

The Grammy Award-winning artist, who has a 4-year-old daughter named Willow with husband Carey Hart, traveled to Haiti with UNICEF this summer to witness firsthand the plight of malnourished children there.

"When you have a child of your own and you try to imagine looking at them and not being able to feed them, it does something to you," Pink said of how Willow has inspired her activism with UNICEF and in Haiti.

The project provides participating children with fitness bands and encourages them to learn about new cultures and keep active. 

"One in four kids in America are inactive and one in four kids globally are malnourished and UNICEF has brilliantly come up with how to connect the two," Pink said. "You unlock therapeutic food packets, which I’ve seen with my own eyes bring children back to life."

"For every certain amount of steps you make, as active as you want to be, then you unlock a packet," she added. "You’re kind of creating global citizens. It’s so empowering to be able to be in charge of helping."
