As International Women's Day approaches, Häagen-Dazs is thrilled to present the five remarkable winners of The Rose Project for 2024. This global initiative shines a spotlight on pioneering women who've made significant contributions to their communities. The winners, selected from a pool of hundreds of applicants worldwide, include Philomena Nwajagu from Nigeria, Faith Ida, Lorna Phillip, Dr. Nirja Joshi from the UK, and Judit Giró Benet from Spain.

Each winner will receive $20,000 to further their impactful projects, which span various domains, from community engagement to social innovation. The Rose Project aims to honor the legacy of Häagen-Dazs co-founder, Rose Mattus, by supporting women who are driving change.

A distinguished panel of judges, composed entirely of women, reviewed applications and selected the winners based on their innovative efforts and social impact. Reflecting the global outreach of The Rose Project, the panel featured Katie Piper, a prominent author and philanthropist from the UK; Alejandra Orozco Loza, a Mexican Olympic medalist; and Aurélie Lory, the global CEO of Häagen-Dazs Shops, representing the brand's commitment to uplifting women.

Aurélie Lory expressed her pride in participating as a judge for the second consecutive year, stating, "It's an honor to celebrate the impact of women through The Rose Project. We are committed to empowering women from all corners of the world, echoing the vision of our co-founder."

The initiative received nominations from across the globe, showcasing the diverse and innovative work done by women everywhere. The winners' contributions range from grassroots activism to entrepreneurial endeavors, highlighting the vast potential of women as leaders and change-makers.
