The 40-year-old visited the training for mentors on early learning in Malawi along with the Minister of Gender.

The Swiss legend’s initiative, the Roger Federer Foundation, has been active in the country since May 2020 for the School Readiness Initiative. It plans to provide quality pre-primary schooling for vulnerable children in 19 districts in the country. This is a great initiative by the Swiss icon, who aims to give back to society through his foundation.

Recently, Federer announced that he will be playing at the Swiss Indoors in his native country. The tournament will be held later in October. It will be his second confirmed tournament this year after the Laver Cup in September.

Federer’s last tournament was at Wimbledon, last year. He reached the quarterfinals of that tournament before losing to Hubert Hurkacz in straight sets. Subsequently, he had a knee injury which has kept him out of action since. His recent announcement comes as great news for his fans, who have missed watching him on the tennis court for a long time now.
