Swiss superstar Roger Federer is visiting the Roger Federer Foundation and its efforts in Zambia during his time away from the tennis courts.

Roger Federer is a world-traveler this week. When he’s not making history on the tennis courts, Federer is giving back to the world community through his charitable endeavors. His own foundation, the Roger Federer Foundation, supports childhood education programs in southern Africa along with his home home country of Switzerland.

Rafael Nadal remains the heavy favorite to win yet another title at the upcoming Grand Slam. Earlier this year, Federer took home his 20th career Grand Slam singles title by defeating Marin Cilic in the Australian Open finals.

There is a world beyond tennis. The Roger Federer Foundation is hard at work, empowering youths by providing them with equitable access to education.

The Swiss superstar is one of the most beloved tennis players on the ATP World Tour. His charisma, talent, and sportsmanship make him a role model for young players around the world. The Roger Federer Foundation is a great example of what to expect from him when the playing time eventually comes to an end. Federer and his foundation are raising money and bringing strategic partnerships to regions that do not have access to education from the Zambian government in the regions he is visiting this week. Keep an eye on the tennis star as he visits various communities throughout Zambia.

He continues to be a fantastic role model when it comes to seeing what high profile athletes can do beyond the sport.
