Posted Tuesday February 23, 2010 2:01 PM GMT

She’s always been a big supporter of charitable causes, and yesterday (February 22) Shakira was spotted making a difference in Washington DC.

The “Hips Don’t Lie” songstress teamed up with the World Bank to launch The Early Childhood Initiative: An Investment for Life.

The Early Childhood Initiative is a $300 million program designed to expand development programs for young children in the Caribbean/Latin America.

Shakira told press, “If we want to build a better world, we have to give children the chance to improve their lives, no matter where they are born or how difficult their circumstances. By giving every child a fair start in life, we are improving our collective future.”
