Roger Federer has been making a significant impact off the court through his philanthropic work. Recently, he visited Lesotho, a country located in southern Africa, as part of the School Readiness Initiative to oversee the progress of his foundation's projects.

The country holds a special place in the heart of the tennis legend as his mother, Lynette Federer, was born in South Africa.

As the president of the Roger Federer Foundation, he met with local authorities and communities to witness firsthand the positive impact of his foundation's initiatives. The primary objective of these projects is to provide early formal schooling to vulnerable children.

The 20-time Grand Slam champion visited the primary schools that participated in the School Readiness Initiative. He interacted with both children and parents who have benefited from the program.

Roger Federer took to Instagram to share some images of his trip, posting a series of photos of himself and his wife Mirka spending time with the program participants.

"An unforgettable trip to Lesotho: so many energetic and smiling children, engaged parents and teachers, committed leaders, and a breathtaking landscape. Thanks to everybody for the warm welcome 📚 🙏🏼 I will definitely be back!", the former World No.1 captioned his post.

The Roger Federer Foundation was established in 2003 with a mission to improve the lives of underprivileged children. Their efforts have already positively impacted the lives of 2.5 million children.

The foundation has set an ambitious goal of reaching 800 preschools in Lesotho by 2025, and they plan to invest $3 million to achieve this objective.
