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.”
—Lisa K., Prime Electric
Thank You for an Incredible Women Build 2026!
That’s a wrap on Women Build 2026! Thank you to everyone who picked up a hammer, volunteered their time, sponsored a build day, donated, and helped make this year’s Women Build possible.
From Sept. 9–19, volunteers and partners came together across our community to build, learn, connect, and help move affordable homes and repairs forward. Every shift, project, and helping hand added up to something bigger, and we’re so grateful to everyone who was part of it.
Thank You to our Women Build 2026 Sponsors!

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.
