In 2001, the women of Marist School teamed up with Atlanta Habitat for Humanity to form the first high school
all women build in the country.
Our mission is to make homeownership a reality for families in need. We advance our mission by educating women about Habitat for Humanity and by teaching and supporting women volunteers who build with us. All Marist Women Build homes have been built for families with a single mother as head of the household which supports the
MWB vision of
homes built by women for women. The following is needed to successfully build a Habitat for Humanity home:
- $80,000 in funds raised from Sponsors and Builders
- 200+ Volunteer Builders
- 8 build days, 7-hours each
Volunteer Builders can build 1 day or multiple days.
