Up From the Dust is an organization founded by Mary Schnack that supports the global growth of women-owned microenterprises. For those who are lucky enough to be in the Sedona, Arizona, area, Up From the Dust is holding its annual Holiday Open House on Wednesday, December 10 from 5-7 p.m. at 270 Last Wagon Drive, off of Mountain Shadows in West Sedona. For the rest of us who aren't enjoying that beautiful red rock scenery in Sedona, we can still support Up From the Dust by going to: www.UpFromTheDust.com. You can do your holiday shopping online and know that you're supporting the women entrepreneurs in developing countries who work hard to make these unique handcrafted items, including pearl and jade jewelry, purses, shawls, home decor and more.

Thank you for sharing this information! It's great to hear about organizations like this helping women rise from poverty to self-sufficiency.
There's also another way to help support women entrepreneurs in developing nations. ]]>Kiva.org]]>, the first online organization for microlending, helps fund small businesses, many of them women seeking to support their families, by pooling investors contributing as little as $25. Go to Kiva.org to learn more.
