Habitat for Humanity's annual Women Build program recruits, educates, and inspires women to build, fundraise, and advocate for stable and affordable homes in our communities. Women Build volunteers and fundraisers from all walks of life have united to build stronger, safer communities. Habitat's nationwide take part in National Women Build Week to challenge women to devote at least one day to creating affordable housing.

This year, we will raise funds and build homes for people like Jennifer, a future homebuyer at Weavers Grove. She is a single mom to two children and has been an employee of UNC's Financial Aid Office for over 17 years. Not only has her rent become unaffordable, but she is also looking for a stable place for her children to call home, no matter how old they are. "I want to provide myself and my children somewhere we can always call home in a great community. I'm very grateful to live in this area because the mental health resources are so abundant and high-quality," said Jennifer. "I anticipate that the mental health challenges my children experience will make the transition to young adulthood trickier. I think my children probably need to know they can rely on living with me for a little longer, and I'm happy to provide that for them."

Volunteers will build on Saturday, March 9, 2024, with morning and afternoon shifts at Weavers Grove in Chapel Hill. This build will conclude International Women Build Week and Women in Construction Week. Please help us reach our $35,000 goal and donate toward an individual, team, or partnership in general today!
