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.

Not all abuse starts with violence. Sometimes, the warning signs appear in ways we may not immediately recognise. This November, Life Academy takes on an important conversation: When Red Flags Appear: Recognising Abuse, Protecting Yourself & Navigating the System. Led by Catherine Seales, Co-Founder and Director of Raise Your Voice Saint Lucia, this session will explore the early and escalating signs of unhealthy and abusive relationships, including coercive control, isolation, monitoring, financial dependence, intimidation and threats. But recognising the signs is only part of the conversation. We’ll go beyond simply telling women to “report it” or “leave” and look at practical ways to protect yourself, understand your options, navigate Saint Lucia’s domestic and gender-based violence response system, and identify other avenues for support when you do not feel safe or supported. 📅 Wednesday, November 4 🕕 6:00–8:00 PM 💻 Virtual via Zoom 💚 Free to attend Because knowing the red flags matters. Knowing what you can do next matters too. Register here: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Fb9d2WGtQAyODGXtZUSTMA #HelensDaughters #LifeAcademy
Measuring the impact of the work we do! We were pleased to welcome Dr. Kadamawe Knife, Lecturer at the Mona School of Business and Management, UWI, for an engaging session with the Helen’s Daughters team on Social Return on Investment (SROI). Ahead of his wider workshop with civil society organisations in Saint Lucia, Dr. Knife spent time with our team exploring how we can better understand, measure and communicate the social value of our work. An insightful exchange that encouraged us to think beyond activities and outputs, and focus on the meaningful change we create in the lives of the women and communities we serve. Thank you, Dr. Knife, for sharing your knowledge and perspective! #HelensDaughters #SocialReturnOnInvestment #SROI
The future of Caribbean food security starts with the choices we make today. Food is more than what we put on our plates. It connects us to our land, our culture, our communities and the people whose work sustains us. Across the Caribbean, building stronger food systems means looking beyond food production. It means strengthening local agriculture, creating sustainable livelihoods, preserving agricultural knowledge and finding innovative ways to ensure our communities can better withstand economic and climate-related challenges. A resilient food system is one where women are not only contributing to agricultural production, but actively shaping its future through their knowledge, creativity and innovation. This World Food Day, under the theme “Innovate today. Nourish tomorrow.”, we are reminded that building a food-secure future requires both new ideas and the wisdom of generations past. From supporting local farmers and choosing locally grown produce to embracing sustainable agricultural practices and reducing food waste, every action contributes to stronger, more resilient Caribbean communities. The future of food is not only about what we produce, but the systems, opportunities and communities we build around it. If you ate today, thank a FarmHer®. #WorldFoodDay #HelensDaughters
