Barefoot Foundation (Spanish: Fundación Pies Descalzos) is a Colombian charity founded by pop artist Shakira in 1997,[1] with the aim of helping poor and impoverished children. The Barefoot Foundation mission statement is "The Barefoot Foundation works to ensure that every Colombian child can exercise their right to a quality education. Our model targets displaced and vulnerable communities by addressing their unique needs."

The foundation's main focus is on aid through education, and the organization has five schools across Colombia that provide education and meals for 4,000 children.[2] Shakira was honored with the Hero Award at the 2014 Radio Disney Music Awards for her work with the foundation.[3]
