Anisha's Story - Women Build 2004
“It is truly a blessing and an honor to be a part of such a wonderful organization.  Habitat has impacted my life in so many ways.  Words can not even start to explain the joy I feel inside.   Thank God for putting his hand in this ministry and stirring up powerful, loving people to perform his will." - Anisha, Women Build 2004

Anisha was a young mother with two small children who lived in a small run-down apartment.  She worked, but felt trapped in her life.  In April 2002 she attended the Habitat Applicant Orientation Meeting. Click here  to read the rest of Anisha’s story.
