Habitat For Humanity | Building Homes, Building Hope.

Women Build

Women Build is a program that promotes women as leaders. Volunteers are responsible for planning, fundraising, and providing the labour to construct their sponsored home.

Women Build is not about excluding men: it is about including women. Women of all ages and backgrounds are encouraged to volunteer in a non-traditional capacity – construction! It allows participants to learn new skills and trades in a comfortable environment.

Women Build has constructed over 1400 homes worldwide, seven of which are here in Winnipeg.
