Women Empower

Women Build challenges women from all walks of life to build - and to advocate for - decent, affordable houses in their own communities and throughout the world.

We host four Women Build projects each year in honor of the unwavering commitment the women of El Paso County have to their communities and families.

Women Build projects are scheduled in March, May, August and November. We encourage all women and women's groups to volunteer - no construction skills or experience is necessary!

You can participate in our Women Build projects by volunteering on the construction site, fundraising for a house sponsorship, recruiting volunteers to build, or promoting community awareness for Women Build.

For questions about volunteering, please contact Sarah Buchen.

Women and Housing Informational Session

Watch our Women and Housing Informational Session, held during Habitat's International Women Build Week 2021, with our Executive Director/CEO, Kris Lewis. During this session, we discussed how women are disproportionately affected by the affordable housing crisis and how women can support building and repairing affordable housing with Pikes Peak Habitat.

Thank You to Our Generous Women Build Donors!
