Who We Are
At EarthEnable, we believe that our clients deserve our very best, that morning high-fives are
the best way to start the day, and that the best ideas can come from any part of the
company. We celebrate each other’s wins, learn from our setbacks, and are deeply proud of
the impact we make every day. We believe that a clean, dust-free floor means more than living
in a healthy home. It means pride and dignity in the place our customers treasure most: their
homes. Being a part of our team means more than building floors: it means building an
organization and building a better future for rural families.
What We Do
EarthEnable is transforming the way people live, by making homes healthier for families
across rural Rwanda and Uganda. 70% of Rwandans and Ugandans live in homes with dirt
floors which 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.
EarthEnable addresses this pressing and ubiquitous problem by selling high-quality, earthen
floors that are 75% cheaper than concrete with 90% less embedded energy. Earthen floors
are prevalent in modern homes in the United States and are composed of natural materials
(gravel, clay, sand, and laterite). EarthEnable trains local masons to become housing
entrepreneurs, selling and installing the floors in their communities. Floors that meet our high
standards are then sealed using a proprietary drying oil that makes them waterproof, strong,
and polished.
About the Role
EarthEnable is looking for someone with exceptional writing skills who can craft captivating
grant applications and insightful donor reports, as a key contributor to EarthEnable’s
