Novak Djokovic is one of the greatest players of all time. The Serbian has a breathtaking 17 Grand Slam titles to his name. Even in the midst of all this glory, he is constantly involved in making the lives of those around him better.

Nole’s foundation, the ‘Novak Djokovic Foundation,’ is led by himself and his wife, Jelena Djokovic. For a third straight year, they’ve announced a ‘season of giving’ campaign. This will focus on a number of aspects, including opening preschools in Vajska and Ljubis. Further, they aim to raise one hundred thousand dollars for the same. 

The funds will be raised through the duo’s major contribution and others donations.

The Djokovics released a statement on their foundation’s site which focused on their foundation’s work in the past year. They stated that whilst “they tried to assist the healthcare institutions in Serbia” in 2020, their “primary goal is still to invest into children and their future.”

Further, they’ve already begun rebuilding preschools in Serbia. Novak and Jelena recognised that smaller places in their homeland suffer “because they do not have access to early education.”

Contemplating on the challenges that 2020 posed, the duo also stated that the importance of educating children was brought into the forefront.

The Djokovics have vowed to double every donation that is made in support of these causes. In their statement, they emphasised on the horrid situations that remain even when a pandemic is not going on in their home country. 

“Each of these places has its own story. And we want to tell it to the whole world, with the help of those who believe in our mission. That is why we have decided to double every donation that you make this year again,” the duo concluded.
