Women Build
The Women Build program was established by Habitat for Humanity International to empower women to build Habitat for Humanity homes, enabling them to impact the lives of children by making home ownership a present reality for families.
Women Build is not about excluding men; it is about including women. Women are often intimidated on a mixed construction site; but in a comfortable environment of a Women Build, they quickly learn construction skills. When women come together in a supportive environment, they feel a tremendous sense of accomplishment and self-esteem.
Women Build brings together women from all walks of life to actively address the problem of children in poverty by building simple, decent, healthy and affordable houses. More than 12 million U.S. children -- one in six -- live in poverty. Women can realize they hold the solution in their hands to move children out of poverty housing. Women need not wait for others to address sub-standard housing issues. They have the capability and determination to be part of the solution -- one family at a time.
The Women Build Committee of Habitat for Humanity of Mahoning County invites all women interested in being part of the solution to volunteer and help make a difference in the lives of a family.
