Over the years, Roger Federer has enthralled tennis fans with his audacious displays on the tennis court. Being a naturally gifted player, the Swiss maestro has gone on to achieve tremendous honors during his illustrious career. One of the most-loved players, he has a massive fanbase all across the globe. Not only has Federer contributed to tennis but also to various social activities in different countries. Further, he also has his foundation, the Roger Federer Foundation, that contributes to this cause. Recently, his foundation’s CEO heaped praise on Federer.

Through his foundation, the Swiss maestro is personally involved in various activities that have made society a better place to live. Let’s find out what the CEO of the Roger Federer Foundation has to say.

Roger Federer makes a big impact

Over the years, the 20-time Grand Slam champion has been involved in philanthropic activities in Africa and other places. Specifically, he has focused on underprivileged children by providing them with the basic necessities they were missing out on. This earned special praise from Janine Händel, the CEO of his foundation.

Talking about Federer in the book The Roger Federer Effect, she said, “He plays along immediately, gets involved and is integrated within a short time. With Roger, the children lose their inhibitions. That is not a foregone conclusion. These children are not used to strangers and certainly not to people of white skin. Roger can open people’s hearts and minds at the touch of a button. Children, but also adults. That is impressive for me to see. Usually, those children are afraid of strangers and have even burst into tears with her.”
