Vania King is Serving Up Hope
WTA doubles specialist Vania King has created a foundation whose mission is to develop the social and physical skills of underprivileged children and to educate communities by providing and maintaining a tennis program. Serving Up Hope currently has programs in both Uganda and Chile.
Being a professional tennis player gave Vania King the opportunity to visit and experience many countries and cultures. Through her travels, she has fallen in love with different cultures and has realized life's luxuries don't always come standard. So in 2019 when her career seemed to be wrapping up, she started Serving Up Hope with the goal to provide sustainable tennis programs for underprivileged children around the world. In doing so she would create a team to help develop social and physical skills and provide opportunities for at-risk youth. Her foundation currently has established tennis programs in Uganda and Chile.
With community programs currently in Uganda and Chile, Vania and her team are in the beginning stages of bringing joy and new experiences to children ages 4-12. It has quickly become evident that Serving Up Hope has become the bright part of the day for so many kids! The foundation not only provides coaching, but also equipment to successfully teach kids as young as 4 tennis, motor skills, movement and social skills.
