Roger Federer Foundation goes into Africa to help children

Pakistan News.Net Sunday 30th December, 2012

Mr Federer established the RFF in December 2003, shortly after winning his first Grand Slam tournament in Wimbledon, for the benefit of poorer children.

The Swiss tennis star also holds a South African passport which allows him to travel freely to numerous projects in Africa, especially South Africa, Zimbabwe, Mali, Ethiopia, and Tanzania; countries to which the RFF provides financial assistance.

In Switzerland, the RFF supports low-income families with talented young athletes who meet the requirements set by the official sports associations.

The Swiss Sport Aid Foundation is involved as a partner organization. In Africa, the foundation works with local aid organizations on long-term projects.

Attention is given to ensure that RFF communities also adopt a degree of responsibility.
