Empowering Women, Building Communities
Join Us in Transforming Lives Through Women Build
At Habitat for Humanity of Horry County, we believe in the power of women coming together to build homes, communities, and hope. Women Build is more than just a construction project; it’s a movement of women empowering each other and making a difference for families in our county. Together, we’re breaking barriers and building a brighter future.
What is Women Build?
Women Build is a program that brings women from all walks of life together to address the critical need for affordable housing in Horry County. Through this initiative, women learn construction skills, raise funds, and work side by side to help a local woman and her family achieve the dream of homeownership.
This year, we are thrilled to introduce Rachel’s Story. Rachel is a hardworking mother in our community, striving for stability and a safe place to call home. With your support, her dream is becoming a reality.
The Housing Crisis in Horry County
In Horry County, the lack of affordable housing is a growing issue. Many families struggle to find safe and stable homes. Rising costs and limited resources make homeownership feel out of reach for those who need it most.
But together, we can change this. By supporting Women’s Build, you’re not just helping build homes; you’re building opportunities, confidence, and stronger communities.
Meet Rachel: Our Women Build Partner for 2025
This year’s Women’s Build is dedicated to Rachel, a dedicated mother and a beacon of resilience in our community. Rachel’s journey to homeownership is one of hope, perseverance, and hard work.
Her dream is simple: to provide a safe, stable home where her family can thrive. With your support, we can make this dream a reality. Be a part of Rachel’s story by supporting Women’s Build today.
