Roger Federer, the man regarded by many as the greatest tennis player of all time,
travelled to
South Africa to visit the
Hlukani and
Govhu creches in
Limpopo province on 19 Feb,2013.
Both creches have benefited from the
Roger Federer Foundation's partnership with
local non-governmental organisation (NGO) the Read Educational Trust (Read).
Federer's mother
Lynette is South African, and that means he has close ties to the country,
although his last visit was 8 years ago.
The number of children benefiting from the
Federer Foundation includes 14,000 children
in
South Africa, 16,000 in
Zimbabwe, 10,000 in
Zambia, 6,500 in
Malawi,
3,200 in
Ethiopia and 150 in
Switzerland.
