Our 2005 honoree is Linda Caldwell Fuller, one of the most admired women in the world!  Certainly she can call the world her home!  Linda is co-founder of Habitat for Humanity International, one of the most successful — and beloved nonprofit organizations in modern times — and the largest nonprofit house builder in the world. 2005 marked the completion of more than a 1,000,000, homes built for people in 100 countries!

Linda Fuller  

     Always a champion for women’s issues, Linda is a tireless crusader for the welfare of women wherever they live. In an attempt to help women better understand the business of building and owning their own homes, Linda originated the FIRST LADIES’ BUILD (where wives of the U.S. presidents and state governors come together to build homes along side other women.) now used worldwide at Habitat International. Under her leadership, thousands upon thousands of women work shoulder to shoulder to create affordable housing for sisters everywhere.
