Founded by World Taekwondo President Chungwon Choue, at the United Nations HQ in New York, in September 2015, THF mandate is to empower refugees worldwide through taekwondo, helping to improve their quality of life, develop skills, learn the Olympic values, and pursue their dreams.
Taekwondo is an economical and easily deployed sport that can help raise the quality of life for refugees, both adults
and children, in camps worldwide, as well as supporting with social inclusion.
Thanks to the Foundation’s projects, taekwondo is now an everyday reality in refugees camps across all three continents. It brings together thousands of refugees all over the world, giving them the chance to share experiences and learn life skills to become Global Citizens.
