Roger Federer appeared in a promotional video for "Act for Early Years," which aims to ensure a better start in the lives of children.

The 20-times Grand Slam champion has not only excelled as one of the greatest tennis players of all time but has also become an icon that transcends the boundaries of sports.

Throughout the years, Roger Federer has shown his commitment to working with foundations and helping children, including the Roger Federer Foundation, which has already assisted around 2.5 million children in benefiting from quality education.

The foundation operates in seven countries and collaborates with more than 30 partner organizations.

This time, the foundation of the former world No. 1 has formed an association with Theirworld in the "Act for Early Years" campaign, a global movement that aims to increase actions and investments in the early years of the lives of millions of children.

Federer appears alongside Ceren Yürümez, one of the youth ambassadors of TheirWorld.

“The #EarlyYears are crucial, but millions of children around the world aren’t receiving the quality care and education they need.

That’s why @rogerfederer and @rogerfedererfdn have joined the global #ActForEarlyYears campaign so that every child gets the best start in life.”

In the video, Federer comments:

“It is so important because 90% of brain development is happening before five years old and we know early learning has a problem with under-funding. That got me so motivated into learning myself and advocating, giving myself to that cause.”

“We really try to have systemic change, to make sure as many children as possible can go to school and have quality early learning.

“We believe that if we give them a chance, things are going to be better. But education doesn’t get the funding it deserves.”
