Who We Are & What We Do

EarthEnable is transforming how people live by making homes healthier for families across rural Rwanda and helping to reduce the polluting impact of the building industry on the environment. 80% of Rwandans live in homes with dirt floors that are dusty, unsanitary, and fertile breeding grounds for parasites and germs. While replacing a dirt floor with concrete has significant health benefits (e.g., reducing diarrhea by 50% and parasitic infections by 80%), concrete is unaffordable for many who need it and is a huge contributor to global pollution.
