A New Kind of Nonprofit- Lifting Women Out of Poverty in the US and Abroad Thru Home Parties
Carmel Judd is Rising International's Founder & Executive
Director. In 2002 she gave up the successful business she owned and ran for 20 years to start Rising
International, the first non-profit to use the home party business model to
contribute to solving poverty.
Rising International sells crafts made by the
world's poorest people - women. In addition, Rising trains under-employed women
in the U.S. to run their own Rising Home Party businesses.
Today
Rising works with women in 27 countries, focusing on
areas of the world where it's the hardest to be alive as woman. To hear
