For FarmHers,
By FarmHers
Helen’s Daughters is focused on building the individual and collective capacity of women farmers in the Caribbean region so that they can exercise their economic rights. Several countries in the region, consist of rural communities, yet most organizations that focus on women, girls and/or trans are urban centric. With marked social-class distinctions between rural and urban communities, we make it a point to focus on these under-served areas.
From agricultural training programmes to pro-bono health services in rural communities and even a farm-to-table cooking show; our organization takes a holistic approach to creating opportunities for women in the agricultural sector, combatting our regional food-import bill and tackling non-communicable diseases, while also ending cycles of poverty that exist in these rural communities.
We’re not just an agricultural organization- we use agriculture as an entry-point to overall development!

Did you know that they facilitated our first-ever Ag-cademy graduation ceremony? Now over five years on, our relationship remains strong and we continue to explore ways to connect on behalf of women farmers. A recent visit to FarmHer Helena’s farm in Babonneau was a means of doing just that. 🫱🏼🫲🏾
It was a delight to host Scott Furssedonn-Wood, High Commissioner to Barbados and the Eastern Caribbean alongside Saint Lucia’s Resident British Commissioner Amy Quantrill FarmHer Helena’s Farm, In Bloom where she discussed how HD has positively impacted her operations. 👩🏽🌾

It’s no secret that SIDS make negligible contributions to carbon emissions but face the biggest blows. This reality set the context for climate financing talks at COP29 in Baku. The goal was that high-income countries responsible for massive carbon emissions would pool $1.3 trillion annually to assist poorer countries in the face of climate change.
Both experts and leaders from developing countries agreed that this was a fair figure. Major emitters, however, did not. On Sunday, they agreed to pool only $300 billion annually by 2035. The decision is far from perfect.
What it does underscore is the need for us, SIDS, to get creative. How do we help ourselves fight a battle we did not create? While Helen’s Daughters is doing its part for our members (through training, capacity building, education and post-disaster support), we’ll need a concerted regional effort to insulate ourselves against the inevitable. 26 Likes
