Work on site is going well on the house in Madrid Street, East Belfast where Women in Business have committed to help build a house for Habitat for Humanity Northern Ireland. The network has agreed to provide volunteers from both the Women In Business network and the Women Into Business programme for a number of home-building days. The Madrid Street Project will offer a hand–up to homeownership for local families in East Belfast on lower incomes.
Our most recent build day took place on Thursday 2nd of September with Volunteers from the Women into Business programme who generously gave up their time to work hard at the build. Emma Hegarty one of the volunteers on the day said:
"The whole day was really great and it was nice to see some familiar faces from the seminars and events at Women into Business. Habitat for Humanity is a brilliant organisation so I think it's great that WIB get involved like that and put together teams. I would definitely do it again if you're looking for volunteers in the future!"
