JOB DETAILS:
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.
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.
