Stephanie Woollard OAM

At the age of 22 with just $200 in her pocket, Stephanie Woollard founded Seven Women, an organisation that has created education, training and employment opportunities that have empowered over 5,000 disabled and marginalised Nepalese women to support their families and break the poverty cycle.

Her acclaimed book, “From a Tin Shed to the United Nations,” and documentaries showcase Seven Women’s impact.

As a Rotary Foundation Peace Scholar Stephanie completed the Masters Program in Peace and Conflict Studies at prestigious Uppsala University in Sweden in 2015.

In 2016 Stephanie won a global award from Rotary International for Responsible Business presented at the UN in November 2016.

In the same year Stephanie’s commitment to social rights and justice earned her the Order of Australia Medal (OAM).

As an inspiring keynote speaker, Stephanie has travelled across the world to share her transformative leadership journey.

As a business owner, social entrepreneur and philanthropist who has navigated her way through working effectively across cultures, Stephanie’s commitment is to build enterprises that lead change and help others do the same.
