Habitat for Humanity of Council Bluffs' First Women Build!

What's a Women Build and why is it special?

A Women Build is a house built almost completely with female labor. The program is special because it is meant to empower women to build Habitat homes and to teach them construction skills in a comfortable environment. It is not about excluding men, but about including women to a greater degree. Women Build also draws attention to the poverty levels in our nation that affect 1 in 6 children who are often raised by single mothers.

How can I get involved?

If you are female and would like to learn construction skills and help build this home for a single mother in our community please contact our office. If you are already familiar with VolunteerHub and how to sign up on our website, the address to look for is S 13th St. We need many individuals and groups over the next few months to successfully pull off this great program. Hope to see you on the site!
