But, apart from his prowess on the pitch and his business skills, Federer is also a great philanthropist and has not shied away from sharing his vast fortunes with the less fortunate in society.

Earlier this year, Federer visited Malawi as the head of the Roger Federer foundation. ATP Tour reports that the foundation aims to provide quality education to the underprivileged.

In his visit, he integrated with children and caregivers in the over 900 community-based centres where the foundation has made an impact. Immediately after the visit, Federer took to his Instagram account and said,

Wonderful to see that we are having a real impact on the ground with the Roger Federer foundation. Access to quality early education is crucial as it is the foundation of all learning. I am so happy I made my way to Malawi.

The foundation was established in 2003, just when Federer was getting into the game. It is predominantly established in Switzerland and Southern Africa. It is estimated that Federer has been able to help at least 2 million children so far.
