Her trip consisted of her visiting a child protection centre, where she met abused and abandoned children and young mothers. Perry also participated in hand-washing to promote proper hygiene and sanitation.
Perry said: "In less than one week here in Madagascar, I went from crowded city slums to the most remote villages, and my eyes were widely opened by the incredible need for a healthy life - nutrition, sanitation, and protection against rape and abuse - which UNICEF are stepping in to help provide.
"I am grateful to UNICEF for giving me the opportunity to see first-hand how their programmes make a real difference in children's lives. Support for UNICEF is saving children, I am a witness to it."
