About EarthEnable
EarthEnable is transforming how people live by making homes healthier for families across rural Uganda and helping to reduce the polluting impact of the building industry on the environment. 70% of Ugandans 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.
To counter the environmental and affordability issues surrounding concrete, EarthEnable has spent the past 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 more potential innovations in low-carbon buildings.
