Chevalier de l'Ordre du Mérite Burkinabé
In 2005 Katrin Rohde opened Tondtenga, the organic agricultural college. The opening and the national award led to the nomination for the Swiss initiative "1000 women for the Noble Peace Prize"
This award was introduced in 1957 on the initiative of The Rotary Foundation and originally honoured members of Rotary clubs who had made outstanding contributions.
In the meantime, a change in thinking has taken place in Europe. The honour goes to individuals who have distinguished themselves through special service.
In September 2022, Katrin Rohde was appointed Paul Harris Fellow by the Rotary Club of Jever-Jeverland together with the partner club RC Leuurwarden-Nijehove/NL.
