Women Build is Habitat’s volunteer program for women who want to learn construction skills and make a difference by building homes and communities.

Thousands of women have participated in our Women Build program, proving that laying bricks, pounding nails and raising walls are skills not exclusive to men.

Women Build projects are regularly held by Habitat affiliates across the country. Women at these builds have furthered Habitat’s home-building mission by helping to construct over 1,400 houses.The Women Build department of Habitat for Humanity International has one mission: Empower women to take action against poverty housing conditions. The more people we can train to become effective volunteers, the better equipped we will be to fight poverty housing. Women Build brings together women from all walks of life to address in a concrete way the housing crisis facing millions of women and children across the globe.

Women Build is not about excluding men. It is about including women and opening new doors of opportunity. Men are often involved in our training programs and build projects in supportive roles and as subcontractors when women from the necessary trades are not available.
