The problem

The Earth Enable innovation

The Earth Enable innovation process

Dirt floors make children across rural Africa sick, and 1.4 billion people live and sleep on a dirt floor. Replacing a dirt floor with a concrete floor reduces diarrhea and parasitic infections, but concrete is both environmentally destructive and unaffordable to the world’s poor. Earth Enable is a Research & Development partnership and addresses this problem by installing sustainable and affordable earthen floors that have fewer carbon emissions than concrete, and are also a third of the price of concrete. While our product has found a huge market of families who are eager to upgrade their homes, we have significant challenges that we are eager to partner with teams of students to address! You can work on subjects like: floor color, resin curing, resin hardness, and stabilization of the floor.
