(Jul. 16, 2025) - World Taekwondo (WT) is proud to announce the appointment of three new Sustainability Ambassadors. These inspiring figures will each serve as champions for one of WT’s three core focus areas – Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) & Community, Environmental Sustainability, and Health & Well-being – helping to raise awareness, inspire action, and support young people across the global Taekwondo community.

The ambassador program reflects WT’s commitment to integrating sustainability into the heart of sport. Each ambassador brings a strong personal connection to their focus area and a proven ability to inspire others through action. Over the coming year, they will contribute to WT’s education and engagement efforts, participate in youth events, and support targeted campaigns and initiatives.

Meet the WT Sustainability Ambassadors:

Beth Munro (Great Britain) – Health & Well-being
A Paralympic silver medallist and European champion, Beth Munro is not only an elite athlete but also a trained Mental Health Mentor. Through her work mental health, she can support young people navigating complex mental health needs. Beth brings lived experience, compassion, and resilience to her ambassador role, helping WT open up conversations around athlete well-being and mental health support in sport.

Faith Ogallo (Kenya) – Environmental Sustainability
An accomplished African Games and African Championships medallist, Faith Ogallo has also become a voice for environmental action. Moved by health risks in her community caused by unmanaged waste, she began local clean-up efforts and has since become a Young Champion of Ecosystem Restoration with the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration. Faith sees Taekwondo as a platform to encourage environmental awareness among youth and promote community-based climate solutions.

Natsiraishe Maritsa (Zimbabwe) – DEI & Community
At just 21, Natsiraishe Maritsa has already made a lasting impact through Taekwondo. She founded the Vulnerable Underaged People’s Auditorium (VUPA), using sport to empower young girls in her community to stand up against child marriage and gender inequality. Her efforts were recognised with the IOC Women and Sport Award for Africa. As a WT Ambassador, Natsiraishe will bring this experience to a global stage, championing inclusive leadership and access to sport.

The WT Ambassador Program empowers champions to lead change on the mat, in their communities, and around the world. Ambassadors serve as mentors, advocates, and storytellers, using their voices and values to help build a more inclusive, sustainable, and healthy sporting future.
