build a future

The Build a Future campaign is a cornerstone of Habitat Manitoba’s Women Build program. Since its inception in 2005, the Women Build committee and its incredible supporters have come together to raise more than $2.1 million, making a lasting  impact on families and communities. The Women Build program helps build and finance safe, affordable homes in Winnipeg, while working alongside the individuals and families who buy them. Many of you have supported the Build a Future campaign for numerous years, and we are so grateful for your continued generosity.

The Women Build program introduces women to Habitat Manitoba construction site(s), and through mentorship and training encourages women to assume leadership roles while building Habitat homes. Women Build welcomes all ages and genders, and are proud of their inclusivity. They promote solidarity and pride in the community, working alongside each other to build affordable houses for deserving Habitat Partner families.

Manitoba’s Women Build program was established in 2005 and has constructed 23 homes to date. The Women Build committee hosts multiple events throughout the year to raise the funds needed to construct an affordable home for a working family to purchase.

The positive impact of Habitat Manitoba in the community is far-reaching. On average, Habitat generates $215,000 of benefits to society per home. These benefits come in the form of Habitat homeowners’ reduced reliance on social housing and food banks, better education and employment outcomes, and improved health.

The unwavering dedication of the Women Build committee and supporters like you help Habitat Manitoba continue to partner with families, offering a hand up rather than a hand out through the homeownership program.
