Weโ€™re beyond proud to be a 2025 #SkollAward winner! Thank you @SkollFoundation for honoring our mission to eliminate dirt floors and build healthier homes across Africa. Letโ€™s keep building dignity, health, and hope. ๐Ÿ“ท #SocialInnovation #EarthEnable #HousingForHealth #Skoll2025
Each year, the Skoll Foundation recognizes a select group of social innovators who are driving transformative change on urgent societal challenges. The five recipients of the 2025 Skoll Awards for Social Innovation are a remarkable group of bold organizations that have designed groundbreaking solutions to improve the lives of millions of people around the world. What unites our 2025 Awardees is their commitment to harnessing collective action to create a brighter future. This year, we are thrilled to recognize the contributions of: @ApisHeritage is restoring the American Dream by helping low- and middle-income employees become owners of their businesses when sellers are ready to retire. @join_chic is a global movement working to make professional the norm in community healthโ€”ensuring community health workers are salaried, skilled, supervised, and supplied to deliver quality care. @EarthEnableโ€‹ improves the health and living conditions of rural African families by developing more affordable, sustainable housing materials. Healthy Learners trains teachers as school health workers, increasing access to health services, reducing absenteeism, and enabling students to learn and thrive. @PactoDemocracia (Pact for Democracy) is coordinating the pro-democracy movement in Brazil, facilitating a broad coalition that bridges ideologies and interests to counter autocratic forces. These leaders are proving that we go further when we go together. Learn more about the Skoll Awards and this yearโ€™s Awardees here: skoll.wf/combined-foundationโ€ฆ #SkollAwardee

David & Kรฉan from Bauhaus Earth Berlin visited our team in Uganda, met the families โ€” and donated a floor on the spot. ๐Ÿ’š A couple also gave two floors in honour of their daughter's birthday. No campaign. Just people who saw the work and chose to be part of it. You can too.

Did you know? A dirt floor costs far more than a sealed one โ€” in clinic visits, missed school days, and lost workdays. Families pay for it over and over. One EarthEnable floor ends that cycle. ๐ŸŒ Follow us @EarthEnable #EarthEnable #DidYouKnow
