Shakira announced on Monday that she will mobilise funds to rebuild the Technological University of Chocó, damaged by the earthquake that struck Colombia on 10 August, as well as around ten non-university educational centres in one of the five departments most affected by the quake.
The Barranquilla-born star's donation will not be made directly. The philanthropic organisation Global Citizen will contribute 500,000 dollars (432,250 euros), and the concert promoter Live Nation, which ran her latest tour, "Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran", and is also her commercial partner, will give another 500,000 at her initiative.
