About EarthEnable

EarthEnable (Tube Heza) is transforming how people live by making homes healthier for families across rural Rwanda, while reducing 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 (reducing diarrhea by 50% and parasitic infections by 80%), concrete is unaffordable
for many who need it and is a major contributor to global pollution.


To address both the environmental and affordability challenges of concrete, EarthEnable has spent 8+ years developing and selling high-quality earthen floors and plasters that are 80% cheaper than concrete with 90% less embodied energy. Our next step is a collaborative research project to identify further innovations in low-carbon building.

  2. Strong computer skills, including intermediate Excel (pivot tables, VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP, formulas, data cleaning) and ability to quickly learn new programs
  3. Fluency in both spoken and written Kinyarwanda and English — the role requires training and supporting district staff who are often more comfortable in Kinyarwanda
  4. Strong written and verbal communication skills
  5. Willingness and ability to travel regularly to districts across Rwanda, sometimes on short notice
  6. Positive attitude, self-starter, entrepreneurial spirit, and sense of humor
  7. Analytical skills, strong attention to detail, and outstanding work ethic
