Women Build is an annual Habitat International program that encourages women to make a difference by working on a build in their community and to fundraise for Habitat’s build programs.
This year, Habitat for Humanity Hawaii Island hosted their Women Build in Puna and assisted families affected by last year’s Kilauea volcano eruption. Volunteers from the Hilo Walmart, HPM Building Supply and the Hawaii Regional Council of Carpenter’s came together and helped on projects that included cleaning up debris, building stairs, building a ramp, painting and stabilizing an existing structure.
“Habitat is there to help families get their homes back to livable standards so they can move back,” said Adrienne Eisele, Family Services/volunteer coordinator for East Hawaii. “The great turnout at the Women Build helped us move forward in our efforts to do just that.”
There will be more opportunities to volunteer in Puna. Visit www.habitathawaiiisland.org to register or contact Eisele at 935-6677 or adrienne.eisele@habitahawaiiisland.org.
