EarthEnable improves the health and living conditions of rural African families and reduces the housing industry’s carbon footprint by working with community-based entrepreneurs and local masons to develop and install more affordable, sustainable housing materials. Worldwide, 1.6 billion people live in homes with dirt floors, which can house parasites and spread disease. More than 200,000 people across Rwanda, Kenya, and Uganda have benefited from EarthEnable’s innovative approach to affordable and sustainable flooring, which has created or improved more than 1,000 jobs in eastern Africa. By 2027, EarthEnable aims to help fulfill housing needs for 700,000 people.
