Our founders Novak and Jelena Djokovic discuss how far we have come as an organization, thanks to your selfless support over the years. We will also try to remember the many achievements we’ve accomplished in 2021. The entire Novak Djokovic Foundation Team wishes you a Happy New Year!
“We started this Foundation with a simple goal: to help.
In order to bring our mission into sharper focus, we started by taking a closer look at what was truly needed and we came away with the unshakable belief that what young children need most – beyond the basic requirements of food, water, and shelter – is education. With proper education, children are capable of anything. We truly believe that, and we know that you do too.
We also know that not everyone can put their lives on hold to build schools or develop programs for children. But when each one of us makes a contribution in whatever way we can – it is astonishing what we can accomplish.
Your effort makes a difference. Your contribution is significant and meaningful. Together, we build actual schools that you can visit, that you can touch and see, where you can hear the voices of children busy at work or play. Classrooms full of promise and potential. Over the course of the last decade as the NDF has grown, we’ve received an education of our own. We have improved in order to help the ones who help children every day – parents, teachers, coaches, and all the adults in their most immediate environment.
