  • Singer Rosalía has made a significant donation to UNICEF to aid Venezuelan children affected by recent earthquakes.
  • The donation, combined with funds from the Rosalía Foundation, will provide clean water for over 30,000 children and medical care for 25,000 people.
  • The Spanish Emergency Committee has also raised one million euros for Venezuela, supporting food security, water access, and shelter for those displaced by the disaster.

Global music sensation Rosalía has channeled her voice and influence into a significant donation to UNICEF, aiming to support the children of Venezuela in the aftermath of a devastating double earthquake that struck the country's north on June 24. The artist's generosity, bolstered by her own Rosalía Foundation, promises to deliver vital aid to thousands affected by the disaster.

UNICEF announced the contribution via social media, expressing heartfelt gratitude. The funds will enable the provision of clean drinking water for more than 30,000 children for a month and essential medical attention for approximately 25,000 individuals. Furthermore, the donation will establish safe spaces where vulnerable children can find protection and support during this incredibly difficult time.

Rosalía, thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Rosalía's commitment extends beyond financial aid; her message conveyed that her "voice, sensitivity, and generosity are reaching exactly where they are needed most." She added, "Your voice not only fills stadiums and moves us all, but it also brings hope to those who need it most." The singer, currently on her "LUX Tour" in the United States, recently dedicated a moment during her Las Vegas concert to acknowledge Venezuela's situation, appealing for solidarity and support.

In parallel, the Spanish Emergency Committee, an alliance of eight specialized humanitarian NGOs, has successfully raised one million euros for Venezuela. This fund will focus on ensuring food security, access to clean water, and hygiene for vulnerable populations, as well as supporting the operation of shelters for those who lost their homes. The committee was activated the day after the earthquakes to channel aid from individuals, companies, and media outlets across Spain. Official figures indicate the earthquakes claimed 2,595 lives and injured 12,400 people.

Your voice not only fills stadiums and moves us all, but it also brings hope to those who need it most.
