Women Build
“I have been telling everyone that my experience on the Habitat for Humanity Women Build far exceeded my expectations and was truly one of the most empowering experiences of my life! Truly. We absolutely want to be involved again next year.”

What is Women Build?
Women Build encourages women to give back to their community while helping Habitat for Humanity Seattle-King & Kittitas Counties make a difference in the lives of low-income families. Over the course of several weeks in April and May, the women and organizations of King County will fund projects, build affordable homes, and revitalize neighborhoods.
Join us for Women Build, September 9–19, 2026 to learn, share, and build together, and find out more about how you can help bring homeownership and affordable repairs to women in our community.

FAQ’s
What is Women Build?
Women Build is a national program with Habitat for Humanity International that empowers women to help families build strength, stability, and self-reliance through shelter. Habitat for Humanity’s 14th annual National Women Build Week invites women to get involved – devoting at least one day to help build decent and affordable housing in their local communities.
How does Habitat empower women?
Habitat provides opportunities for hands-on learning, empowering women to succeed in changing their communities. Nationally, over 60% of Habitat homes have women heads-of-household. Thanks to skills learned while building, these women are better equipped to maintain their homes and gain confidence in their ability to cope with day-to-day situations.
Are men allowed to participate?
Yes, all gender identities are welcome. Women Build provides a place for women to learn the skills needed to build a home, but that does not exclude ANYONE from participating. We encourage teams to have 51% women (where possible) to meet program requirements.
Thank You for Making Women Build 2025 So Powerful
Last spring, Women Build brought people together to create safe, stable housing and lasting change in our community. Because of your support, more families now have the opportunity to thrive.
Women Build isn’t just about construction, it’s about connection, empowerment, and proving what’s possible when we come together.
