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.

🌱 Collaboration in action. Last month, we had the pleasure of welcoming students from the Arizona State University Global Resolve Service Program to our Living Lab at Project Chocolat | Saint Lucia. Working alongside our project partners and local stakeholders, these students rolled up their sleeves to help bring key elements of the space to life. From hands-on implementation to meaningful collaboration, they gained practical experience in sustainable design, community engagement, and agricultural innovation while contributing to a project rooted in resilience and local impact. This is what partnership looks like: bringing together diverse perspectives, shared knowledge, and a commitment to creating sustainable solutions that strengthen our communities. Thank you to everyone who made this experience possible. Together, we’re cultivating more than a Living Lab. We’re cultivating the next generation of changemakers. 💚🌿 #HelensDaughters #NourishCollective #LivingLab #SustainableAgriculture #CommunityEngagement #AgriculturalInnovation #GlobalResolve #PartnershipInAction
