"It's time to act": Roger Federer supports Act for Early Years Campaign to help young children get a good start in life
OtherWednesday, 25 October 2023 at 20:30
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.”

- All the men dropping like flies. Something’s gotta be done with the tournament calendar or many more players will be on the sidelines in the near future. Surprised Carlos is back as soon as he is. Get well soon Sinner, Draper, Fokina, Rune, etc. etc. etc……DaveyWavey25-08-2026
- I want Pegula to surprise as a one-slam wonder winning in New York. She would then jump over the other three ladies for a number one ranking! I’d put my money on the two American girlies, Jessica and Coco to win in New York. Rybakina cannot seem to perform under this kind of pressure and Sabalenka appears in an anger fog ATM.DaveyWavey24-08-2026
- Well said, Andy. I got sick of Nick carrying on and on and on about Sinner. He absolutely refused to look at the facts. Now look at him. Karma is real!!!Rapunzel23-08-2026
- The fact that ANDY RODDICK of all people has become the voice of “reason” is interesting. He’s absolutely correct about Kyrgios too. He’s become a tennis influencer who is a total hypocrite and bully! I agree with RODDICK 100%DaveyWavey23-08-2026
- Great article! Thiem was similar to Del Potro in that both men had won Grand Slams and injured wrists each stole their careers away. Sad really.DaveyWavey22-08-2026
- I’m not quite sure what’s happening with Sabalenka but she is horrible on court when she’s losing (which is a lot lately). If you cannot control your self at all once you start losing matches - especially at 28 - you need to see a therapist or take a break from the sport. Terrible attitude. This is what represents the women’s tennis tour? Yikes!DaveyWavey20-08-2026
- Love Halep’s post! Very pointed yet simple.DaveyWavey20-08-2026
- He’s such a hypocritical douche! I remember when Sinner was out for three months on his ban and Kyrgios made such disparaging comments towards him and how awful he was. He’s such a mess of a human being.DaveyWavey19-08-2026
- Help me understand this. Nick tests positive for cocaine and gets suspended but Marketa gets banned for four years?Rapunzel19-08-2026
