Women Build 2025
Providing comfortable environments and opportunities for women.
Habitat for Humanity’s Women Build program engages, mobilizes, trains and empowers women. While men aren’t excluded, the program strives to create an inclusive and collaborative atmosphere specifically for women to help themselves and their neighbors improve their living conditions.
Habitat for Humanity’s Women Build program leverages its resources and strategic partnerships to equip women to serve in their communities, enabling them to address local affordable homeownership challenges.
The program provides opportunities for women volunteers to participate in homebuilding and repair activities to help build stronger, safer communities.
Women Build provides comfortable environments and opportunities for women to take proactive steps in serving their communities.
Our volunteers gain knowledge and skills they can use to repair and maintain their own homes. Every woman can make a difference by learning and using construction skills.
Three in 5 women surveyed by Habitat say they cannot afford to purchase a home that meets their family’s needs in their current neighborhood.
At Women Build events, volunteers work on a Habitat build site in an environment where women can comfortably learn new sills with their friends, peers and colleagues. A construction site can be intimidating, but women who might have shied away from volunteering on other Habitat build sites typically step forward to learn new skills on a Women Build site. They are often excited to take up the challenge of tangibly providing affordable housing within their communities.
Local Habitat affiliates have noticed an increased number of female crew leaders, many of whom began their construction experience at a Women Build event. This encourages even more women to get involved.
