Habitat for Humanity, Orange County, NC has joined the national effort to build homes that are funded and constructed by women.
Our Women Build project is designed as a female-friendly fundraising opportunity and work site that empowers women to take on leadership roles and learn new skills while building a home with a hardworking family in need of safe, affordable housing.
Chaw Chaw Thwai - and her husband and two children - will become the proud homeowner family of the 2011 Women Build house. In lieu of a down payment, the family worked alongside volunteers to help build their home and the homes of their neighbors. After closing in the spring of 2012, the family will repay a 0% interest mortgage by making affordable monthly payments. The funds will be recycled, allowing Habitat to serve more families in Orange County.
