The Women Build Campaign of Athens Area Habitat for Humanity are holding a screening of 'Water' tonight at Athens Cin‚ for $18 to help raise money to build a "green"" house."

A house will be built in October in the Athens-area using “green materials.”

Anyone can help tonight by going to see a movie.

The Women Build Campaign of Athens area Habitat for Humanity will hold a screening of “Water,” to raise money to build a house using non-synthetic chemicals, energy and water-efficient fixtures and solar powered lights.

“Women Build is a very tangible way all of us make a difference in the fight against poverty,” said Sue Lawrence, a member of the 2007 steering committee of Women Build. The organization consists of all female volunteers who work together to build a house for someone in need.

“Working together to plan, raise funds and raise the roof for the Habitat Women Build gave so many diverse women from all across our community the opportunity to combine our efforts to help a woman and her family have a safe, affordable home,” Lawrence said.

There will be hors d’oeuvres and a cash bar preceding the film.
