Because women are not fully recognized or valued across Caribbean food systems, Helen’s Daughters builds community as a form of agricultural capital, connecting women to the knowledge, wellbeing, leadership, and market opportunities they need to claim their place in agriculture and build a Caribbean where every woman feeds the future.

Rural is not a reflection of socioeconomic status. It is a reflection of potential, resilience and opportunity. For too long, the word rural has been associated with lack, limitation and disadvantage. At Helen’s Daughters, we believe it is time to challenge that narrative and recognise rural communities for their contributions to our economies, food systems and collective future. At the heart of these communities are women. Farmers, entrepreneurs, innovators, leaders and custodians of knowledge whose contributions are essential to feeding our families, sustaining livelihoods and strengthening Caribbean communities. Yet, despite their contributions, women in agriculture continue to face barriers to land, financing, markets, visibility and opportunities for growth. We believe women in agriculture should not simply be recognised for the work they do, but empowered to claim their place as leaders, decision-makers and drivers of change. This is why we continue to invest in education, wellbeing, market access and community, connecting Caribbean women to the knowledge, resources and opportunities they need to grow, thrive and earn. This International Day of Rural Women, we celebrate the women who cultivate our lands, preserve generations of knowledge, build enterprises and strengthen our communities. We also reaffirm our commitment to creating spaces where their contributions are valued, their voices are heard and their potential can be fully realised. Because when women farmers succeed, families eat better, incomes rise and communities grow stronger. A Caribbean where every woman feeds the future. #InternationalDayOfRuralWomen #HelensDaughters #RuralWomen #WomenInAgriculture
How do we measure the real value of the work we do in our communities? Join Helen’s Daughters live for a practical session with Dr. Kadamawe Knife, Lecturer in Entrepreneurship at the Mona School of Business and Management, UWI, as we explore Social Return on Investment (SROI). Discover how organisations can measure their social impact, put a value on the change they create, and demonstrate the difference their work makes. Whether you're part of an NGO, social enterprise or impact-driven organisation, this conversation is for you. 14 October 2026 | 5:00–7:00 PM (AST)
From the classroom to the farm! As part of the Helen’s Daughters Ag-cademy 2026, participants from St. Kitts and Nevis visited A1 Farms in Nevis for a hands-on learning experience led by Mr. Mackie Tross. From greenhouse production to seedling care and farm development, participants gained practical insights to strengthen their agricultural knowledge and skills. A special thank you to Mr. Tross for sharing his expertise and welcoming our FarmHers! #HelensDaughters #Agcademy2026 #FarmHers #WomenInAgriculture #StKittsAndNevis #AgriculturalTraining
