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.

About Women Build
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 Tuesday, May 16, 2023 and Saturday, July 15th, 2023, teams of women will volunteer, working together on a designated build site, to physically construct a Habitat home 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 to help fund the construction project.
**Individual fundraising requirement to build: $600
**Team fundraising requirement to build depends on the number of women on the 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 is our 8th Habitat Hillsborough Women Build and our 7th year!
Last season women from all over Hillsborough County came together to make the dream of home-ownership a reality for a single mother, for Barbie Colon & her son Hundred. Over 90 participants raised over $84,000 covering a significant cost of the home. This year we endeavor to come back just as strong so that we can make a lasting impact in the lives of another single mother and her children.
Let's make 2023 the best year it can be!
