We are a home ownership and wealth building initiative that trains black women in carpentry, electrical, and plumbing by restoring houses.
Our Etting Street Project is transforming a block of deteriorated, vacant row homes in West Baltimore, one by one.
We are currently finishing up the house featured in this video, and our first participant is about to become a first time homeowner.
Follow us, share, get involved, or donate! http://www.blackwomenbuild.org
