Helen’s Daughters works at a grassroots level providing capacity-development training, mentorship, micro-investment, access to high-value markets and a structured care-system for women farmers, who have largely been unacknowledged and under-supported in the agricultural sector.
On the advocacy front, the organization leverages the media and partnerships with the public and private sectors to address gender inequalities by seeking opportunities for female farmers, as well as putting food security and climate resilience in the public and policy agenda. In this way, Helen’s Daughters is positioning women as key actors in driving sustainable development in the Caribbean.

🌱 Our FarmHers are taking their stories to the world! We’re incredibly proud of Beryl Oletha Seaton of Saint Kitts and Nevis, whose story, My hands still know the soil: A woman farmer’s journey of resilience, has been published by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). 🌍 Helen’s Daughters shared the opportunity with our network. Beryl applied — and made it her own. Her story speaks powerfully about farming, resilience, disability, adaptation and her enduring connection to the land. And we were especially proud to see Helen’s Daughters mentioned as part of her journey, with Beryl reflecting on the training, knowledge and community she gained through our network. This is why we keep sharing the opportunities. You never know which one will open a new door. 💚 Congratulations, Beryl! 🔗 Read her story: https://openknowledge.fao.org/items/f3ba6691-4358-48e3-9fc3-acd120b0a44a #HelensDaughters #WomenInAgriculture #FAO #CaribbeanAgriculture #FarmHers
🌧️ FARMHERS MARKET CANCELLED 🌧️ Due to the tropical wave expected to affect Saint Lucia, we have made the difficult decision to cancel tomorrow’s FarmHers Market at the Aquatic Centre Grounds. While we were looking forward to welcoming everyone, the forecasted heavy showers, thunderstorms and gusty winds create too much uncertainty for our farmers and vendors to safely set up and operate the market. The safety of our FarmHers, vendors, team and customers comes first. 💚 We’re disappointed that we won’t get to see you tomorrow, but we’ll be back! 🌱 Stay connected to our pages for updates on our next FarmHers Market date. Please stay safe, Saint Lucia. 🇱🇨💚 #HelensDaughters #FarmHersMarket #SaintLucia #SupportLocal #WomenInAgriculture
