The Roger Federer Foundation

Mission

“I AM TOMORROW’S FUTURE”

Nolonwabo Batini, a 15-year-old girl from Ndzondelelo High School in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, made this self-confident discovery when Roger visited her school. Her conviction became the vision and the central theme of the Roger Federer Foundation. The Foundation wishes to enable as many children as possible to take control of their future, and to actively shape it. In many countries in the world, countless children have no access to education or sport. Or the poor quality of the existing offers prevents the children from getting a fair chance to exercise self-determination. For this reason, the Roger Federer Foundation promotes access to education, sports and play, and improves the quality where there are no or only insufficient funds available.

Founder

Roger Federer. The Roger Federer Foundation was founded in 2003.

The Roger Federer Foundation supports projects located in Southern Africa and Switzerland. The projects on the African continent focus on the improvement of the quality of early learning and basic education, in Switzerland on the promotion of young sports talents. All activities are realized and implemented by local or at least regional Non-Governmental Organizations with best references.

The Story Behind It

The Roger Federer Foundation is a charitable Foundation. It works with carefully selected local organisations in long-term partnerships. It supports the development of individual skills, searches for innovative possible solutions and acts in a targeted way in order to improve the children’s situation over the long term. The involvement is concentrated in several chosen countries.

The Roger Federer Foundation ensures that the population in question assumes joint responsibility for the solution of its problems with regard to the contents, organisation and finances. The children, their families and their community should contribute their suggestions in both the requirements analysis and the development of innovative possible solutions and actively cooperate in the implementation.
