Caribbean luxury resort and regional NGO join together in support of rural women, inviting guests to discover the beautiful bounty of Nevis
NEVIS, WEST INDIES (February 28, 2025) – Four Seasons Resort Nevis announces its first “FarmHers” Market on International Women’s Day in partnership with Helen’s Daughters, a Caribbean regional non-governmental organization (NGO) that aims to empower women through the training and support of female farmers with the use of adaptive agricultural techniques, capacity building and improved market access.
What is sure to become an ongoing initiative at the Resort, the first “FarmHers” Market will take place on March 8, 2025 from 10:00 am until 3:00 pm and feature a curated selection of female farmers and artisans from across the Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis. Products that will be available include an assortment of local fruits and vegetables, hot sauces, sea moss drinks, baked goods and pastries, herbs, eggs, scented candles, oils and soaps, as well as handmade jewellery, clothing and leather products.
"We are thrilled to welcome the farmHers of Helen’s Daughters to Four Seasons Resort Nevis," says Billy Cueto, General Manager. “Not only does this partnership allow us to share the bounty of Nevis with our guests and homeowners, but also to celebrate the amazing contribution to our society that these women make, and have made, day in and day out. It is certainly fitting that we launch this endeavour on International Women’s Day!”
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, they make it a point to focus on these under-served areas.
From agricultural training programs to pro-bono health services in rural communities and even a farm-to-table cooking show, the organization takes a holistic approach to creating opportunities for women in the agricultural sector, combatting regional food-import bill and tackling non-communicable diseases, while also ending cycles of poverty that exist in these rural communities.
“More than just an agricultural organization, Helen’s Daughters uses agriculture as an entry-point to overall development,” says Keithlin Caroo-Afrifa, Executive Director. “This partnership with Four Seasons Nevis allows us to further solidify our mission in both St. Kitts and Nevis as well as the region as a whole. We are so thankful for their collaboration and look forward to a fruitful partnership together.”
