How Women Build helps build more homes
Women Build is a Habitat for Humanity International program that encourages women to make a difference building homes and communities. Nearly 1,000 Habitat houses have been built by women crews around the world. The Women Build branch of Alachua Habitat for Humanity is currently building their third and fourth homes and fundraising has begun for a fifth home.

How to get involved with/help support Women Build
The cost to build a Habitat home in Alachua County today is $80,000.00; currently we are raising funds for our fifth house. You can help by donating your time to staff information/fund raising booths, purchasing tickets to Women Build events, making lunches for our builders, actually building, or in a multitude of other areas. Contact hfh.womenbuild@yahoo.com to find out how you can help.
