The Success of Women Build

Thank you to all who made the National Women Build week a
tremendous success. As a result of our involvement in the program, we were selected as one of 175 affiliates across the
United States to receive a $5000 grant. The Women Build Group
got to work in January to secure sponsorships for the home. Construction began in Fourth Creek Village in February and
has been going strong ever since. Lillian Dye is the proud Habitat partner who takes ownership of the home in late June. Women Build is Habitat’s volunteer program for women who want to learn
construction skills and make a difference by building homes and
communities. We will not stop with Lillian’s house! Look for more
information about exciting Women Build projects to come.


Women Build is a nationally sponsored program intended to encourage and enable women of all ages, and from all backgrounds, to make a difference in their community by helping to sponsor and build Habitat for Humanity homes.

Since Women Build's creation in 1998, groups of women volunteers have fully sponsored and built over 1,200 homes worldwide. in 2006, more than 30,000 women completed 160 new homes for families in need.
