Sponsored by the Junior League of Tyler.

Habitat for Humanity of Smith County's 2006 Women Build Home sponsored by the Junior League of Tyler promotes the involvement of women in the construction of a Habitat home.

Construction is a male-dominated field. Even on the more forgiving Habitat sites, men still take the lead in construction, and women are relegated sometimes due to their own lack of confidence to tasks such as painting, landscaping and cleaning up the site.  However, on a Women Build site, women feel more comfortable and are willing to tackle all aspects of construction and, given the right training, quickly become skilled.

Women-built projects provide an opportunity for women to learn construction in a supportive environment.  Women Build works to nurture, recruit and train women to build and maintain simple, decent, healthy and affordable homes.

The 2006 "Women Build" project is coming August 26th.
