Episode Details

Shakira is pouring her heart—and $1.25 million—into rebuilding earthquake-damaged schools in her native Colombia, teaming up with Live Nation, FIFA’s Global Citizen Education Fund, and CAF to get kids back in classrooms fast. Through her longtime organization, Fundación Pies Descalzos, which has been serving the remote, impoverished Chocó region for over two decades, this funding will help reconstruct schools where terrain and isolation make aid delivery tough. The effort is part of a broader wave of Latin American artist-led relief, including a surprise visit by philanthropist Howard Buffett, who pledged his foundation’s support to rebuild ten more schools. This latest move underscores Shakira’s lifelong mission: ensuring every child in Colombia has access to education, no matter where they live.
