Women Build

Women of northern Beaufort County are once again joining together to actively address substandard housing in our community. The Women Build program challenges women to build a better future for our county’s children as well as a legacy of volunteerism for their own children. Women Build provides a supportive environment for women to learn to build Habitat homes in partnership with families in need.

A steering committee of local women have come together to plan and organize our affiliate’s second Women Build, after completing our first successful Women Build back in 2007. Led by committee members Barbara Krakehl, Susie Gombocz, Bobbi Weber, and Charlotte Gonzalez, these creative and enthusiastic volunteers are have raised funds and recruited additional volunteers. The Women Build house is the fourth and final house at the Penn Village site on St. Helena, and construction is underway and ongoing so please check back for updates. There’s still time to join in the excitement — women of all ages and skill levels are needed!
