Felix Auger-Aliassime is more than eager to give back to the community. Felix’s father Sam Aliassime, is of African descent and emigrated from Togo. Therefore the Canadian player decided to be active in helping children in the African country.
Since 2020, he has donated $5 to charity for every point he has earned on the tour; this amount has increased to $329,720 for youth education thanks to sponsor BNP Paribas who tripled it. Felix and his girlfriend, Nina Ghaibi went to the African nation to see the latest improvements. The donations were given out to initiatives in ten villages, helping 2,740 people. He took a tour of the country’s north to see what has been constructed so far.
“It has largely taken shape. I saw good things, the renovations to the schoolrooms, the equipment for the schools—school equipment but also sports equipment.
The important thing, for me, was to not only meet the very young but also the older ones that left school we help who are between 17 and 20 years old and now, thanks to the project, are in apprenticeships.”
