Kath Koschel
Founder, Kindness Factory Australia and Kindness Factory USA
Kath Koschel is the founder of Kindness Factory, a global not for profit organisation and movement which inspires ordinary people to do EXTRA ordinary things. A former professional cricketer and Iron Man competitor, Kath has defied all medical prognoses by teaching herself to walk on three separate occasions.
Despite facing other serious personal, mental and physical setbacks, her resilience allowed her not only to overcome these challenges, but also see the good in the world when most others couldn’t. In November 2015, she founded Kindness Factory, with a goal of encouraging and inspiring 1 million acts of kindness.
To date, she has raised close to half- a- million dollars for various charity organisations and was the recipient of the 2016 Pride of Australia Medal for showing courage in the face of extreme adversity. In January 2017, Kath was awarded the Young Australian Medal and the people’s choice of Australia award.
