She is using her tremendous success to bring attention to much more than just her music.

And on Thursday, Demi Lovato took to Instagram to share a breathtaking photo of herself - wearing full African Maasai garb and bead work - with her whopping 52.1m followers.

The 24-year-old hit-maker looked overjoyed as she posed for the picture, taken during an off-moment on her volunteer trip working on behalf of the We organization at the Maasai Mara National Reserve.

The Skyscraper songstress had her brunette tresses styled functionally into two tight french braids.

She accessorized with a colorful Maasai beaded headband and matching earrings, traditionally handmade by the women of the ethnic group of southern Kenya.

According to Discovered, the colors the women used for Demi's headband each have meaning, and indicate that they see her as pure (white), hospitable (blue), and brave (red).

Demi was radiant as she wore the vibrant attire of the tribe over her khaki volunteer clothing and added several colorful beaded necklaces.

The starlet's makeup was flawless despite the high humidity and featured a dewy complexion, her signature dark brows, plenty of mascara and a swipe of clear gloss.

On her Snapchat story, the Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter could be seen goofing off with the other volunteers on the trip.

The group sang Rihanna songs together such as Work and Needed Me, to the amusement of their bus driver.

Demi is a celebrity ambassador for Me To We, 'an innovative social enterprise' that organizes youth participant programs across the globe.

She last took a volunteer trip in 2013 to celebrate her 21st birthday in a meaningful way, spending ten days in Kenya helping build a school for children.

The former Disney star returned to the Safari with four years of sobriety under her belt after seeking treatment for drug addiction, bipolar disorder, and bulimia.

Her next show is set to take place on February 3 in Dubai.

Meanwhile, she is still reveling in the success of her first Grammy nomination for Best Pop Vocal Album for her album Confident. 

The 59th Annual Grammy Awards will take place on February 12.
