They are nurtured, encouraged, educated, and loved. We at the NDF never forget what it takes to create a champion. The Novak Djokovic Foundation is a global organization that champions and invests in early childhood education - primarily in Serbia - a country where only one in two children has access to pre-school education. Our passion is evident in everything that we do, from training more than 600 teachers, building or repurposing 18 schools and helping over 10,000 children and counting. We believe deeply in the vital importance of early education, and we’re determined to change the world: one preschool at a time. www.novakdjokovicfoundation.org.
