WOMEN BUILD CELEBRATES 10 YEARS OF BUILDING HOPE AND BUILDING HOUSES!

Women Build is a special volunteer group through Habitat for Humanity. The program has been established by Habitat International to encourage the involvement of women in the construction of Habitat homes.  This all-female crew helps build a house, has fundraising projects, and raises awareness in the community. At the same time, they seek to empower women and create a non-threatening and fun environment to meet others in the community.
 
Women crews have already built more than 1,200 Habitat homes within the United States.
