Shakira is launching a powerful new push to rebuild Colombia’s earthquake-ravaged Chocó region, pledging to fund the reconstruction of ten schools destroyed in the magnitude 7.4 quake that killed hundreds and left thousands homeless. Visiting Quibdó firsthand, she witnessed the devastation and warned that without immediate action, children in this remote, underserved area — where online learning is impossible — will be left behind for good. Joining her is Howard Buffett, who’s teamed up with Shakira’s Pies Descalzos Foundation for this effort, while Global Citizen and Live Nation each pledged $500,000. With a decades-long commitment to education in Chocó, Shakira’s global influence is now channeling resources into a region long overdue for investment — proving that focused philanthropy can transform lives.
