Roger Federer’s $100 million-plus education mission has reached 3.82 million children, revealing a different side of the tennis legend

Roger Federer’s foundation, started in 2003, says it had reached 3.82 million children by the end of 2025. It has trained more than 72,000 teachers and strengthened 18,445 educational institutions across Southern Africa and Switzerland. Total investment tops 100 million Swiss francs.

The work targets children aged 3 to 8, relies on local partners and keeps administration costs under 10 percent. A new name and a 2026 to 2030 strategy now point toward a future less dependent on Federer himself.
