Our Social Mission:
 

In Kenya, menstruation is an overlooked problem. Many women and girls cannot afford sanitary products every month, and as a result they stay home from school or are hindered in work. It’s a barrier to their life opportunities. Ruby Cup is a solution to this problem.

We sell Ruby Cup through local female vendors. We educate them in the usage of the product, reproductive health and menstrual hygiene. This way, we create employment for women, provide a sustainable solution to women and girls in poverty, and we increase peer-to-peer education in the local communities. To support this mission, we also sell Ruby Cup online to western markets for a higher price.

Ruby Cup is the winner of The Global Social Entrepreneurship Competition 2012 (US), Venture Cup 2012 (Denmark), Finalist in Ben & Jerry's Join Our Core 2012 (EU), and 2nd  prize recipient of the Future Impact Award 2012. (Switzerland)

The Job

Most importantly you have to make sure our users understand the product correctly and proper usage of it. You need to keep track of selling Ruby Cup through our shop and during events, which includes keeping track of installment payments.

Who Are You?
 

You have trained people in health before and are good at marketing health products. You are comfortable with being independent, and you have fun while working! You love business development in the areas of health and will do everything possible to start the conversation about menstruation and educate girls and women in basic reproductive health. You are flexible and proactive with ideas on how to overcome challenges.

You are systematic and can monitor sales, which includes managing installment payments i.e. keep track of ingoing and outgoing money. Most importantly, you should love educating people in the field of menstrual hygiene, hygiene in general and reproductive health. During events, you should be able to hold presentations to various groups that can differ in size and target audience.

The Team
 

Ruby Cup is founded by three Danish female entrepreneurs (Maxie, Julie and Veronica), and our little team consists of Edna (KE), and Ruchita (KE). Our office is located in Westlands in Nairobi.
