Women Build Speaker Series

Women Build Speaker Series featuring Joy Loewen in Celebration of International Women’s Day

We are so grateful to each of you for joining us at Habitat Manitoba’s Women Build Speaker Series breakfast. With over 200 passionate and engaged attendees, the room was absolutely buzzing with energy, inspiration, and a shared commitment to building stronger communities.

A heartfelt thank you to this year’s incredible speaker, Joy Loewen, for her authenticity and powerful words. She lit a fire in our hearts and minds—reminding us to dare to lead, take action, and step into the unknown with courage. She encouraged us to “go into the cave,” to embrace vulnerability, and to see where it takes us. She reminded us to dream bigger, trust our instincts, and recognize when it’s time for change.

Each step we take is not a solo journey but an opportunity to build meaningful connections and lift others up as they pursue their purpose. This is the very heart of Women Build. Your support helped us raise over $20K, taking us one step closer to our goal of building the 22nd Women Build sponsored home for Jacq & Asher—a truly wonderful family! Together, we are proving that Manitoba is an advocate for changing lives and creating brighter futures for Habitat families.

A special thank you to Qualico and Emergent BioSolutions for their long-standing commitment to the Women Build program and their unwavering efforts to create positive change in the world. The power of community is a testament to what we can achieve when we come together with a shared purpose. Let’s carry this momentum forward!

We look forward to seeing you again soon—on the build site, at future Women Build events, or as you continue to champion the Women Build mission in your own way.

It’s not too late to contribute and make a lasting impact through Habitat Manitoba. Every action, no matter how small, helps build a stronger future. Let’s keep building—together!
