Habitat for Humanity’s Women Build Initiative brings together women from all walks of life to address the housing crisis facing millions of women and children worldwide. This is a unique opportunity for women in the community to join forces with Habitat by donating their time, muscle and money in support of affordable housing. Together, let's build a brighter future for women everywhere!
This is an inclusive opportunity and is open to all gender identities.
