Empowering Women Through Feather Seaweed Farming: A Year of Growth and Transformation in Southern Thailand

In 2024, Yunus Thailand partnered with the Canadian Fund for Local Initiatives (CFLI) from Embassy of Canada to Thailand | Ambassade du Canada en Thaïlande and Global Seaweed Coalition to kick start the transformative pilot project, "Seaweed Social Business," in Satun, Southern Thailand. This initiative has empowered local women, alleviated poverty, and fostered community resilience by equipping them with tools and knowledge to cultivate Caulerpa racemosa var corynephora, a lesser-known yet highly sustainable and nutritious feather seaweed species. Over the past 11 months, the project has achieved remarkable milestones, with 50 women-led enterprises officially registered as seaweed entrepreneurs—further cementing its role as a catalyst for change.
