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.

From green bananas to new possibilities! 🌿🍌 Our 2026 Ag-Cademy FarmHers® in Saint Kitts and Nevis got hands-on with agro-processing, exploring how green bananas can be transformed into flour and used to prepare nutritious porridge. Over in Saint Lucia, our participants were just as busy, turning locally grown produce into green plantain chips, local pepper sauce, and pineapple and ginger jam. Across both islands, these practical sessions brought learning to life, giving women the opportunity to build their skills, explore value-added products, and discover new possibilities for income generation through agriculture. Because agriculture isn't just about what we grow, but also what we can create from it. 💚 Grow. Thrive. Earn. Belong. #HelensDaughters #AgCademy2026 #FarmHers #AgroProcessing
Helen’s Daughters is pleased to recognise the continued support of CIBC Caribbean, following the second disbursement of EC$15,000 towards our Life Academy and Women’s Ag-Cademy programmes for 2026. At the heart of our work is the belief that community is as essential as capital in agriculture. Through education, wellbeing and practical opportunities, we are helping women gain the knowledge, confidence and connections needed to strengthen their livelihoods. While CIBC Caribbean’s contribution primarily supports our work in Saint Lucia, both programmes are delivered across five Caribbean islands, expanding opportunities for women to learn, grow and thrive. This year, Life Academy has engaged over 600 women, while our Ag-Cademy continues to equip women farmers with agricultural knowledge and practical skills. In Saint Lucia, the programme also provides a pathway towards obtaining a Farmer’s Licence, as its certificate is recognised by the Ministry of Agriculture as an alternative to the Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) Certificate. This continued partnership reflects the importance of investing in women beyond training, creating pathways to economic opportunity, stronger livelihoods and greater participation in agriculture. Together, we are building a Caribbean where every woman feeds the future. #HelensDaughters #CIBCCaribbean #LifeAcademy #AgCademy #WomenInAgriculture
