Women Build
Women Build is an opportunity for women to join together and support local women. It provides building experience for women to empower other women and their families who want to make a difference in the lives of local women.

ABOUT WOMEN BUILD
In 2023, 14 teams of 110 women joined together to raise more than $70,000 and provide more than 740 volunteer hours to help Habitat build a home.
history & national impact
In 1991, a group of women in Charlotte, N.C., came together to build a stronger, safer community and completed the first women-built Habitat for Humanity house. With that event, the seeds for Habitat for Humanity’s Women Build program were planted. Habitat for Humanity of Huron Valley participated in its first women build program in 2001, building two homes that year, and has been empowering women to address and help solve the housing crises in their own neighborhood. Since that time Women Build has helped to complete numerous homes for low-income families in Washtenaw County.
