About Katura
I would like to introduce myself; my name is Katura Halleday, I am 15 and define myself as a humanitarian and social justice advocate.
I was finalist for Gold Coast Citizen of the Year 2018, the Women in Business Rising Star for 2018, nominee 7 News Young Achiever award, 5 time nominee for the International Stevie Awards, Australian representative for Golden Rule day, member of the Student Advisory Board and the subject of a new short film by Jude Kalman.
While I am is humbled by these awards and opportunities, I am acutely aware and grateful for the platform these opportunities have given me to have my voice heard.
In 2018 I started a Social Enterprise, 8x8 to Educate, donating 100% of the profits to education in Mozambique. I have three main income streams, a book that I illustrated called Rina’s Story, an annual Art Competition and personal and company Sponsorships.
I am passionate about two things in my life, art being one and the other the education of young women in developing countries. By combining these two passions I have been able to unite a group of my peers, provide an opportunity for member of my school and wider community to enjoy art and help to continue the education of those less fortunate. I hope to provide through my experiences, an example to other students of the joy that can be found in a life that on some level involves service to others.
