WOMEN BUILD 2022

​Hawaii Island, February 16, 2021 - Each year, Women Build engages, mobilizes, trains, and empowers women leaders. Women have come together in 650 communities in the U.S. to build homes, communities, and hope. This year, teams of inspiring and engaged women on Hawai’i Island will work together to raise funds and build homes in partnership with Habitat for Humanity Hawai’i Island. The event begins with a special “Holoholo with Habitat” Women Build Scavenger Hunt, followed by coordinated Build Days on one of several Habitat for Humanity build sites around Hawai’i Island. Women Build offers an opportunity for women of all skill levels to step up, dig in, hammer nails, and promote the positive impact of women leadership in our communities.
