Shakira, the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund, Live Nation and CAF have announced a $1.25 million initial commitment to rebuild schools following the devastating earthquake in Colombia last week. The announcement follows a similar commitment after earthquakes ravaged Venezuela last year.

Shakira visited Quibdó on Monday alongside philanthropist Howard Buffett and representatives from CAF, the Development Bank of Latin America and the Caribbean, and Fundación Pies Descalzos, following conversations with Global Citizen last week. During the visit she met with Chocó’s Governor, Nubia Carolina Córdoba, and Quibdó’s Mayor, Rafael Bolaños.
