Kate Rodwell
Session
Motivated by a trip to India, Kate and her husband Jonathan were impacted by the plight of the Dalit people–those who fall below the caste system and are trapped in a life of poverty and marginalisation. They connected with a nationally led and run organisation addressing these issues.
In 2006, they decided to establish Dignity Freedom Network (DFN) in Australia and New Zealand. DFN seeks to restore dignity and hope to the Dalit people through providing non-exploitative healthcare, quality education and economic empowerment.
As CEO of DFN, Kate's passion is to see effective and sustainable development provided to those most in need.
Kate has a Master’s degree in Transformative Development.
