“Proud of the incredible work,” Roger Federer reflects upon the work done by his foundation during the pandemic

The Roger Federer Foundation was established in 2004. Their mission is to shape a bright future for underprivileged children. The foundation principally supports the educational projects in the region of southern Africa and Switzerland. Presently it takes care of over one million kids.

The foundation believes education is the most powerful weapon with which an individual can ever have and education has the power to change the world. Their prime focus is on academics. As their guiding principle states “children should be ready for school and schools ready for the children.”

Last year the foundation crossed the bar of one million children benefiting from the programs promoted by the Swiss legend’s charitable activities. The CEO of the Roger Federer Foundation, Janine Handel said: “there was no other possibility than achieving this goal because Roger always achieves his goals.”
