57 - Making business possible with Mandy Richards, Founder & CEO of Global Sisters

Mandy is a social entrepreneur who is fiercely passionate about human rights, eradicating poverty and empowering women which led her to establish Global Sisters in 2014, a Not for Profit organisation which exists to enable women to be financially independent and stand tall. They provide a genuine alternative for women who are unable to participate in mainstream employment, by removing the barriers they commonly face, they make self-employment a viable option. Mandy’ s diverse career path over the past 20 years has spanned the commercial and not-for-profit sectors where she has worked internationally on government business incubation programs in Botswana, New Zealand as well as high profile charities including the Hamlin Fistula Hospitals in Ethiopia and locally as National Marketing Manager for the RSPCA.
