Women Build

Women Build is more than just a construction project; it’s a movement that empowers women to take the lead in addressing the housing crisis in our community. By coming together, we can break down barriers, challenge stereotypes, and build a more inclusive and equitable future for all.

At Green Country Habitat for Humanity, we believe in the power of women to lead and create positive change. Women Build is a unique opportunity for women-led teams to join forces, roll up their sleeves, and work together to build safe, affordable homes for families in need.

Women Build 2025 Kick Off Raises Walls on Four New Habitat Homes

On Tulsa’s 918 Day, eight women-led construction teams came together to raise walls on four new Habitat homes, turning a neighborhood near 30th Place North and Lewis Avenue into a hub of energy, teamwork, and possibility. What was once an empty lot is now alive with progress, marking the start of a stronger, revitalized community.

Women Build is more than a construction event. It’s a celebration of women stepping into leadership roles in projects that have traditionally been male-dominated, demonstrating the strength, skill, and determination women bring to the construction industry. Each wall raised lays the groundwork for stability and independence, creating homes where families can thrive for years to come.

Across the nation, women face unique challenges in homeownership, from gender wage gaps to higher mortgage rates and stricter lending requirements. At Green Country Habitat, 70% of clients are female heads of household or single women preparing to purchase a home, underscoring the critical need for affordable housing solutions in our community.
