Women Build
is a department of Habitat for Humanity International that promotes the
involvement of women in Habitat home construction. Its aim is to
help
empower women to address the problem of poverty housing for
themselves, their families and their neighbors.
Women Build Background:
The first women-only "Habitat build" took place in Charlotte, North
Carolina in 1991, planting
the seed for Habitat's Women Build Program.
In 1998, Habitat for Humanity International officially created
the Women Build Department.
Since then, the program has grown in leaps and bounds. To date, more
than 1,650 official Women Builds have been completed.

Macomb County's Women Build initiative is steadily growing and
gaining steam. Behind-the-scenes work is being accomplished
daily as we move in the direction of undertaking annual
Women Build projects. Helping to eliminate substandard housing in Macomb
County neighborhoods is our #1 goal.
