We celebrated Mother's Day early during National Women Build Week!
On Saturday, May 5, 2012, more than 50 women spent the day helping families in need make improvements to their homes. At noon, participants took a break and enjoyed a picnic lunch catered by Foster's Market. We also dedicated the 2011 Women Build House, home of Chaw Chaw Thwai and her family. After lunch, Chaw Chaw graciously invited the women to visit her newly completed home.

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 - are 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 May 2012, the family is repaying a 0% interest mortgage by making affordable monthly payments. The funds will be recycled, allowing Habitat to serve more families in Orange County.
