World Taekwondo President Chungwon Choue officially announced his plan to establish the THF in his speech at the United Nations headquarters in New York City, on the 2015 International Day of Peace. 

Its mission is to teach taekwondo and stage educational programmes with refugees and displaced people around the world.

As well as Jordan, projects are underway in countries such as Rwanda, Turkey, Djibouti and Nepal.  

There are currently more than 70 students who attend weekly training sessions covering both technical taekwondo and educational activities at Azraq.

Most of the people at the camp have fled the conflict in neighbouring Syria.
