Roger Federer Foundation (RFF) is dedicated to enabling children living in poverty to take control of their future and to actively shape it. This foundation works in long-term partnerships to promote the improvement of quality in existing education services for children 3-12 years of age in several countries in South Africa. In 2010, it launched a long-term education initiative in Limpopo Province in the North of South Africa with the aim of increasing the quality of education in this area. During the first three years, the initiative concentrated fully on early childhood education and preschools. By the end of 2013, it expanded in order to guarantee the quality of education after transition into primary school. In 2014, RFF supported 13 local partner organizations in Botswana, Ethiopia, Malawi, South Africa, Zambia, Zimbabwe, and Swaziland. RFF invests in the development of organizational skills, searches for innovative solutions to prevailing problems, and plans learning activities.
