Tinate Zebedayo

Tinate Wayet was born in South Sudan and grew up in Bristol, United Kingdom. She studied Fine Art and worked in fashion before returning to university where she graduated with Bachelors of Social Policy from the University of Bristol. 

In 2016, Tinate returned to South Sudan where she worked as a case manager with a local nonprofit to provide psychosocial support for survivors of Gender-Based Violence and trafficking.  She later joined the International Organisation for Immigration (IOM), where she trained and implemented the Gender-Based Violence program with the Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene program in multiple regions across South Sudan. 

Tinate enjoys sewing, gardening, painting, and occasional holler-hopping. 

Joining the Global Activities Scholar Program, Tinate hopes to gain skills in project development initiatives globally and gender centered practice for social systems. Upon completion of her MSW, Tinate hopes to work in South Sudan and the East African Region on promoting women's equity and elimination of Gender-Based Violence.
