Featuring GlobalPDX Members
One of our primary goals at GlobalPDX is to highlight the work of our members and we think the best way to do that is to amplify their voices. We invite our members to contribute blog posts that describe their organizations and their work in hopes that you will learn about each of them in greater detail including their impact around the world.
Our first Member Post comes from Sudara, a Benefit Corporation based in Bend, OR. Sudara is focused on empowering people and changing the world. Its mission is to create living-wage jobs for women in India and have a deep, generational impact for survivors of sex trafficking and their families.
Enjoy reading their story and let us know at [email protected] if you would like to write a Member Post.

Congratulations to GlobalPDX members InStove and Oregon State University’s Humanitarian Engineering Department for receiving the Impact Award in Impact Invention at the Elevating Impact Summit on February 13. The award, presented by the Lemelson Foundation, goes to an entrepreneur or entrepreneurial team working to address a social, environmental, or economic problem through an invention-based enterprise creating a new physical product or products.
