Novak Djokovic and charity work
Novak Djokovic has helped many charities throughout his career. First, he signed with the Serbian philanthropic organization “Serbian Start” in 2007 and donated $100 for every ace he hit while playing matches through 2012. He also partnered with UNICEF to visit an orphanage in South Africa back in 2008, according to UNICEF. In 2012, he partnered with UNESCO to promote science education in Serbia which helped educate over 20,000 children and some of the money raised went towards building new schools as well as funding textbooks and some equipment.
Now Djokovic is partnering with Novak for Kids to support a healthier lifestyle for children around the world but especially in Serbia. The organization aims to raise funds for all of the tennis star’s goals, most recently building a new academy for children between 9 and 14 years old. In 2016 he announced that he was partnering with UNICEF again to help provide education, nutrition and health care for refugee children from Syria.
In 2015 during his run at Wimbledon, Djokovic released a video for the “SOS Children’s Villages – Serbia” charity to announce his donation of $20,000 and he also announced that he would match any donations from fans as long as they donated within 24 hours. The charity provides support for children who have been abandoned by their parents as well as those whose families are unable to care for them.
In 2014, Djokovic launched a line of charitable Christmas ornaments with Water Project Inc to help bring clean water to the developing world. All of the money from each ornament goes towards building wells and training locals on how to maintain these wells so communities can have access to a safe supply of drinking water for years to come.
