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!

Through Helen's Daughters, we're supporting women in agriculture to professionalize their work and raise their income. We're tackling gender gaps in agricultural policy and driving a mindset shift in how society perceives rural women. 👩🏾🌾
Nearly 7 years in, we’re thrilled with the direction HD has taken and have pledged our commitment to the cause. Working with The Commonwealth has provided us with an invaluable opportunity to speak with industry heads and raise awareness of the power of farming within small communities. 🌱
Recognition like this shows that we’re moving in the right direction, raising awareness of the challenges and triumphs of the women we represent like FarmHer Kashar Daniel (Fresh Harvest) and FarmHer Helena Thomas (In Bloom) both featured in this production.
This internationally broadcasted production was shot right here in Saint Lucia by talented videographers Presh Production and Wolf Art Production! They're some of HD's strongest male allies.

Our administrative team spent two days working on strengthening our capacity to work together for the benefit of our members. 👩🏾🌾
From fun activities that taught us how to resolve conflicts and adapt, to serious discussions on our newly developed code of conduct, we’re bettering ourselves to better serve all our stakeholders.
It was also a chance for some team members to meet in person for the first time, since HD employs a hybrid environment with staff across the region. 🇱🇨🇰🇳🇻🇨
A massive thank you, as well, to our facilitator Ms. Diana Francis who could not have done a better job!
