National Women Build Week
Let’s build something together!
Habitat’s second annual National Women Build Week, sponsored by Lowe’s, will take place May 2-10, 2009. More than 200 affiliates across the United States will host a Women Build day during the week leading up to Mother’s Day. Recording artist Trisha Yearwood is helping launch this year’s weeklong event, building with women volunteers in her adopted hometown of Tulsa, Okla. Yearwood will wrap up the final weekend of the event building with women volunteers in Atlanta, near her hometown of Monticello, Ga. Developed through the partnership between Lowe’s and Habitat for Humanity, National Women Build Week challenges women to devote at least one day to the effort to eliminate poverty housing. The event is an initiative of Habitat for Humanity’s Women Build program, underwritten by Lowe’s, which brings women from all walks of life together to learn construction skills and then use those skills to build simple, decent affordable houses.
