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.
