Build
Women Build began in 1991 by a group of women in Charlotte, NC. It has grown into a national initiative of Habitat for Humanity and resulted in over 2,200 new homes. Through Habitat Forsyth, families earning a low-income gain access to a decent and affordable housing solution. Habitat volunteers get to build alongside the new homeowner, who is required to complete a minimum of 300 sweat equity hours before purchasing the house. Over 80% of our homeowners are single women making this build that much more special to us.
For more information on Women Build 2019, contact Libbie Mayr at libbie.mayr@habitatforsyth.org or 336.306.8420.
