The Problem

Dirt and mud floors are a major cause of infectious disease, respiratory illness, malnutrition, and vector-borne disease. And while a clean and dry floor made of concrete would cost a Rwandan family as much as $300-500 per home, EarthEnable will floor a home for 75% cheaper, at $3.50 per square meter. Almost half of this price is labor costs that will contribute to local employment and income.



Our Solution

EarthEnable provides Rwandans with healthier and more dignified homes by training local masons to craft an affordable and durable earthen floor.  The floor is composed of natural materials (gravel, clay, sand, and other additives) and sealed with a layer of drying oil that makes the floor impermeable, easy to clean, and polished.
