Why Shakira
Beyond her celebrated music career, Shakira brings significant credibility to the partnership. A multi-Grammy and Latin Grammy Award-winning artist. She is also a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador and founder of the Pies Descalzos Foundation, which provides quality education for vulnerable children in Latin America. Her advocacy for education and youth empowerment makes her a fitting ambassador for Epson’s regional vision.

Whether it’s helping students bring their ideas to life or enabling small businesses to design and print more efficiently. Epson’s innovation is rooted in real-world impact.

With Shakira as a symbol of possibility and transformation, Epson is reaffirming its belief that sustainable, inclusive technology can be a powerful force for good.
