2014 Women Build program, underwritten by Lowe’s, recruits, educates and inspires women to build—and advocate for—simple, decent and affordable houses in their communities.
This year’s event takes place May 9, 10, 16, 17.  It's theme, “Building on the Foundation” reflects Habitat Women Build’s goal to recruit and train women volunteers, as well as welcome the next generation of Habitat Women Builders – young women, ages 18-24 – to help support Habitat’s mission to create affordable housing.
Women volunteers boost Habitat’s capacity to build more houses and serve more families. More than 1,900 Women Build houses have been built since the program began in 1998.
Women Build is not about excluding men, it’s about including women so they can learn construction skills on a more inclusive construction site. More than 1,900 homes have been built by women crews in the United States, as well as in dozens of countries around the world.
