1. The Roger Federer Foundation

Founded in 2003, Federer founded the Roger Federer Foundation with the aim of giving disadvantaged children easy access to sustainable education and sports. The Foundation is committed to providing early childhood education to six-low income countries in Africa as well as Federer’s home, Switzerland. The Foundation enhances a world where children living in poverty are able to take control of their future and actively shape it.
“I love empowerment, just in general. Making somebody a stronger person and then that person being able to do it on their own is a wonderful thing. A little push can really do wonders and we’re going to keep doing that for years to come.” – Roger Federer
