Shakira plans to lobby Latin American presidents this week to devote more money for children's welfare programs.
She will travel to El Salvador to speak to a summit of leaders of countries including Brazil and Colombia.
The singer's main cause is feeding and educating poor children, particularly the 35 million children living in poverty in Latin America.
She is the founder of Fundacion ALAS (Latin America in Solidarity Action) and wrote in Newsweek how growing up poor herself spurred who to help those in similar childhoods.
"I like to think that I can use my public profile to bring attention to more important issues than my own," Shakira told Reuters.
