Women Build Week, presented by Lowe's

Women Build Week, March 8-11, New Richmond, WI

Women Build Empowers Women in Homeownership

Women Build is a dedicated, week-long focus during Women's History Month, that empowers and educates women building, investing and advocating for simple, decent and affordable housing around the world.  Since 1991, Habitat for Humanity has celebrated women's homeownership through Women Build Week.  


We are proud, and honored to partner with Lowe's, who, since 2003, has contributed more than $40 million dollars and countless volunteer hours to help hundreds of homeowners during Habitat for Humanity Women Build weeks in more than 300 communities across the country.  


This year, Lowe's of Oak Park Heights, Minnesota, is sponsoring both our Women Build Week and providing numerous in-kind and discounted materials for this home and for our homeowner Jessie Koskie and her family. Thank you Lowes. We are so grateful for all you do for all of us at Habitat and for our homeowners.

Habitat for Humanity Women Build

Habitat for Humanity has long recognized the critical role women play in their communities and their specific barriers to homeownership. That’s why Habitat’s Women Build program, thanks to the generous partnership of Lowe’s, brings together future homeowners and dedicated volunteers to help women build a better future for their families and communities.

We are grateful to the longstanding partnership Women Build has with Lowe's.  Oak Park Heights Lowe's has stepped in to help with donated materials, endless discounts for our home and volunteers who will join us at Women Build this year.  Thank you!

Habitat for Humanity Women Build had it's start in 1991. 

  • Lowe’s co-sponsored the Jimmy Carter Work Project, which built 92 homes in Georgia and Alabama during Women Build Week in 2003. 
  • Habitat’s Women Build has been part of projects like the First Ladies Build -where women governors and first ladies from 50 states joined us to build homes for families in need.
  • In 2005, Lowe's provided a $2,000 credit for each of the 230 homes being built in that project that year. 
  • In 2006, Women’s Build hosted our First Families program to build a home in every state.
  • International Women Build Week went virtual in 2021

Since we started...

You might know Joan Bartz (pictured in the red shirt), who has been with us on our Women Build events since we started.  Joan is also with Thrivent, a longtime partner of ours, and had this to say about her Women Build experience her first year:  

"We had about ten ladies and we worked on putting the sheetrock on the ceiling.  I remember it was a very cold day and we worked hard, but we left so empowered that we could accomplish so much.  It was a good day!

I love that Habitat lets everyone do everything.  They don’t just leave the “easy” jobs (like painting and sweeping) for the women.  I have learned so many valuable skills over the years."
