Overview

• EarthEnable continues to install clay-based earthen floors in Uganda, with recent projects in Jinja and surrounding communities.
• Each finished floor costs roughly $65—about 70% less than concrete—and low-income families can pay in installments.
• Sealed earthen surfaces eliminate dust that causes respiratory problems and significantly reduce jigger flea infestations.
• More than 100 local masons, many of them disadvantaged youths, have been trained and employed through the program.
• Replacing cement surfaces with clay floors helps lower reliance on Uganda’s carbon-intensive cement industry, which produced around 628,000 metric tons of CO2 in 2023.
