Shakira and FIFA have announced a $500,000 donation to support earthquake relief efforts in Venezuela, with a focus on children and education programs affected by the disaster.
The donation is being directed through the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund, according to the announcement, and is meant to help communities dealing with the impact of the recent earthquakes. The fund supports education access and resources for children in areas facing crisis or instability.
Shakira, who has long supported education-focused causes through her philanthropic work, has also connected her recent World Cup-related music efforts to the same initiative. The move adds another layer to relief efforts aimed at helping families and schools recover after the damage.
The contribution comes as artists, organizations, and public figures continue to respond to the emergency in Venezuela. Relief work remains focused on immediate needs, recovery support, and helping children return to safe learning environments.
