The Raw Carrot Soup Enterprise
Even though Paris is an affluent town, there are people on the margins. There are people who are functionally illiterate, others that have learning challenges, some that grew up in families of abuse or neglect and some with physical limitations or are living with mental illness. All of these individuals have something in common: the desire to live a purposeful life.
However, a traditional workplace, with a focus on maximizing profit, doesn’t always have room for physical, social or emotional needs. That’s why the Raw Carrot came into existence…to provide meaningful training and employment while celebrating diversity.
