Women Build is a Habitat for Humanity initiative that focuses on the issues that women and women with children face in regards to gaining access to affordable housing. Each year women from all backgrounds come together to help a single mother in Hillsborough County realize her dream of homeownership. Around the world, and in our own community, women are more likely to live in substandard and poverty conditions. This is especially true of women who have children. Women Build empowers women volunteers to participate in an exciting experience, constructing a home for a local single mother.

What is Women Build About?
EMPOWERMENT
Women Build is a call to action for women looking to better their community and spread awareness of the challenges for families who can’t afford decent housing. It empowers women volunteers to participate in an exciting experience constructing a home for a local single mother.
BUILDING
Between April 4th and June 13th, 2019, teams of women will volunteer, working together on TWO designated build sites, to physically construct TWO Habitat homes for a limited-income single mother and her family in Hillsborough County.
**Each team or individual is only required to work one full day on the build site.**
Fundraising
*Teams and individuals will raise enough money money to help fund the two construction projects.
**Individual fundraising requirement to build: $600
**Team fundraising requirement to build depends on the number of women on team. A team of two(2) will have a goal of $1200. A team of five(5) will have a goal of $3,000 and so on.
This will be our 4th year for Habitat Hillsborough's Women Build and this year we will make a lasting impact in the lives of not one but two single mothers in our community.
Last season Women from all over Hillsborough County came together to make the dream of home-ownership a reality for a single mother Sabrina Belgrave and her two(2) boys. Over 175 participants raised $139,658 covering the complete cost of the home. The year before we raised $121,000 for the Burton family and in 2017 we raised $86,000 for the Cowen family.
Lets make this year our best one yet!
