The Women Build Program empowers women to build Habitat for Humanity houses, enabling them to positively impact the lives of children by making home ownership a reality for families!  Poverty is a severe threat to children's health, growth and potential. Women can realize that they hold the solution in their hands' to move children out of poverty housing. Women need not wait for others to address substandard housing issues. They have the capability and determination to be part of the solution - one family at a time!

Pray for the success of the Women Build program.

Volunteer for construction, or in one of the many committee areas.
