About Us

After an inspiring year working in Mumbai, India with International Justice Mission, she and Oliver moved to Tanzania, where she co-founded Inherit Your Rights.

Katie continues to manage and support the team in Arusha, now from the UK, as well as being Mum to two amazing daughters.

Louise leads the Business Development department of a major international law firm. She is married with two daughters. 

​

Louise was inspired by Inherit Your Rights' vision for female equality in Tanzania, and is excited to raise the profile of our organisation and the issues we campaign on both in the UK and internationally.

Gwendoline, a French expatriate who has lived in the UK and Asia, has had a long and diverse career in teaching. Initially a language teacher and pastoral leader, she went on to manage a girls' boarding house in Brunei, where she also won an International award for the 'Outdoor Discovery Centre' which she founded at Jerudong International School. 

​

Her commitment to environmental sustainability and experiential learning led Gwendoline to find a new vocation in permaculture education, alongside teaching STEM, outdoor education, and forest school programs at ACS Cobham International School back in the UK.

Married with three children, Gwendoline balances her career with family life, pursuing her passion for lifelong learning and holistic living.
