The Women Build
Strong Women Build Strong Communities
The Women Build is an annual event where women from across Kosciusko County come together to build and fund an entire home for a family in our Homeownership Program. Hundreds of volunteers and donors make this happen, and its a testament to the power of women working together to provide a safe, decent home. Not only that, but this event is loads of fun and laughter!
Don’t just take it from us. Here’s what past Women Build participants have said about their experience on the build site!

Everybody I talked to said they would like to do this again. We’re having a blast. I think somebody already commented that there’s been more laughter than working. That is not true! Equal parts laughter and working.

I love getting to know the owner of the home. I’ll drive by this house on my way home from work and I’ll think about her and pray about her.

It’s a really positive environment. I think it’s great. It feels like you get to learn something new and it gets us out of the office. And we got to meet the homeowner, which is also very cool.
The Women Build is happening this fall!
Check back soon for specific dates.
The impact of a Habitat home.
Meet the Hensleys! This family of seven lived in a 3-bedroom modular home full of black mold when they applied to the Homeownership Program. After moving in, their health improved, school grades went up, family conflict went down and their budget gained some desperate breathing room. Feeling blessed, they were determined to pay it forward.
Watch their story to hear how they are giving back today!
