Women Teams Build Houses and Dreams

With hammers at your fingertips, women around the world are coming together to build better commodities and houses with families in need.

Habitat for Humanity International's Women Build program, sponsored by Lowe's, a do-it-yourself store, is attempting to make homeownership a reality. The organization trains women volunteers and the long run owners of Habitat homes to create and maintain easy, decent and affordable homes.

'We have seen so many positive changes through the Women Build system, not merely in the lives of the newest homeowners, however in the lives of the volunteers,' mentioned Fiona Eastwood, director of Women Build. 'Women from all walks of life are picking-up instruments, decided to build a better future for the nation's children and leave a legacy of volunteerism.'

Women Build is not about excluding men, but. It is about including women who have a willingness to understand new things and meet new people.

In accordance with Eastwood, women are often intimidated on a 'mixed' construction site. At-a Women Build website, she says women are able to easily and comfortably learn construction skills.

In a recent survey conducted by Lowe's and Habitat for Humanity, women frequently mentioned their desire to help young ones and families in need as a reason for volunteering. For extra information, we understand people have a gaze at: informed with rob lowe. Another reason they often mentioned was the desire to improve their areas and communities.

Environment homes are sold at no profit to partner individuals and are financed with no-interest mortgages that are released for 15 to 30 years. Home funds go into the 'Fund for Humanity' to become used-to build more Habitat for Humanity houses. With Lowe's since the national underwriter for the Women Build plan, a lot more than 150 houses - a rise of 50 percent over last year - is likely to be created this year by women teams.

'We are happy to partner with Habitat in encouraging women who help people move out of sub-standard housing within their own home, where they could benefit from the dignity that every family deserves,' said Larry Stone, chairman of the Lowe's Charitable and Educational Foundation..
