This year, the Global Citizen Festival, held on September 28 at the Great Lawn in Central Park, New York, confirmed Lisa of BLACKPINK‘s performance. Accordingly, Lisa is known to have performed without receiving any payment to support the festival’s noble mission.
The festival, aimed at raising awareness and funds for global issues, committed to donating all proceeds to improve access to education for children in Gaza, Palestine, Sudan, and Africa.
“From Gaza to Sudan, children are sharing their experiences of conflict and the importance of access to education. World leaders have a moral obligation to fund emergency education access for over 226 million children in crisis,” the Global Citizen Festival stated on its X (formerly Twitter) account @GlblCtzn.
This initiative seeks to raise awareness about the importance of providing proper education to children in conflict areas.
In Gaza and Sudan, thousands of children face immense challenges due to ongoing war and conflict. The lack of educational facilities and the deeply rooted economic impact in these regions means that children urgently need international aid.
“Lisa is someone who deeply cares about social issues, and her voluntary participation in this festival demonstrates her commitment to positive change in the world,” said a Global Citizen spokesperson.
With the help of global stars like Lisa, the funds raised are expected to create better educational opportunities for thousands of children living in conflict zones.
“Lisa not only breaks records but also shatters barriers. We believe education is the key to a better future, and together we can make meaningful change,” added the Global Citizen team.
Meanwhile, Lisa was previously criticized for associating with an infamous Zion*st, and the female idol’s mother was also accused of supporting Israel, which is committing war crimes in several countries. The family of Lisa’s rumored boyfriend also faced similar accusations.
However, the fact that Lisa performed for free with all proceeds donated to Gaza & Sudan children brings a new perspective.
