Roger Federer with Mirka on the far right and 3 of their children
Most people know Roger Federer as the Swiss tennis player who has so far
won 20 Grand Slam Titles. He won the Australian Open 6 times, the French Open
once, the British Open at Wimbledon 8 times and the US Open 5 times. He’s
married to Mirka who is frequently in the stands watching and cheering her
husband while cradling one of the 4 children they have, two sets of twins, two
girls, who are now 10, and 2 boys who are now 5. What many people don’t know is
the generosity that Roger shows towards other children. Last year he donated $13.5
million to open 81 schools in Africa. The schools are in Malawi, and cater for
all ages, from kindergarten to High School. His kindness will change the life of
150,000 children to the year 2021. There are other projects going on in
Switzerland, Botswana, Namibia, Zambia, Zimbabwe and other nations. His noble
gesture encouraged other sportsmen and women to sponsor other philanthropic
projects to help children in third world countries. Thank you, Roger!
