What is Women Build?
Women Build is a Habitat for Humanity International mission that encourages women and girls to make a difference building homes and communities through funding and constructing Habitat homes.  Women crews around the world and more homes are added each year as affiliates, donors, have built more than 1,200 Habitat houses and sponsors discover the impact of women volunteers and their resources.
The need is great, but it can be met.  Women can be part of the solution -- one house, one family at a time.  Women Build challenges and empowers women to build safe, healthy housing where children can flourish and grow to be all that they can be.  Throughout the United States and around the world, women are positively influencing the future of children by making homeownership a present reality for families.
 
What makes this mission so special?

This mission is not about exclusion; it is about empowerment.  Habitat for Humanity believes a program like the Women Build is a powerful tool for educating and supporting the women of our community.  Over Fifty percent (50%) of our affiliate homeowners are single women.  Women are increasingly buying homes on their own and becoming involved in home repair.  This is an opportunity to teach women about the homes they own.  This is also an opportunity to challenge preconceived ideas about what women are capable of or willing to do.  Most importantly, it is about women doing their part to overcome poverty housing and providing a decent, safe home for a family in need.  

Why should I get involved?

Statistics* show that children raised in a home owned by their parents are:

  • 33% LESS likely to give birth as an unmarried teenager
  • 40% LESS likely to be idle at age 20
  • 35% LESS likely to receive welfare
  • 20% MORE likely to graduate from high school
  • 62% MORE likely to acquire a post-secondary education
