About

The Roger Federer Foundation enhances a world where children living in poverty are able to take control of their future and actively shape it. There is sufficient evidence that proves that education is a prerequisite for reducing poverty, improving preventive healthcare and creating a committed civil society. In particular, access to quality early education is crucial as it is the foundation of all learning. In low-income countries, more than 80% of children do not have access to early education. The Foundation thus aims to give children the best start on their educational path through life by establishing and further develop existing early educational services in a sustainable way. The guiding principle in this endeavour is that children should be ready for school and schools ready for the children. This means that not only should children be prepared to start school, but also that the schools should provide a child-friendly environment, especially for the youngest. They should be healthy and develop their skills accordingly, enabling them to enjoy a happy childhood.
