Job Vacancy for Executive Associate

Employment Nigeria 14-Dec-2015 AFRICA , Others

EarthEnable is a new and quickly growing company in Rwanda that also has a social purpose. The company sells healthy and affordable floors to the 80% of Rwandans who can only afford to have a dirt floor in their home. Concrete floors have been shown to reduce disease and improve health but a concrete floor costs up to $450 (-300,000 RWF) for a 30 square meter home and usually crack quickly.

EarthEnable has invented an alternative floor that is 70% cheaper than concrete and that has 90% less embedded energy. EarthEnable's floors are composed of natural materials (gravel, clay, sand) and are sealed with a special oil invented at Stanford University that forms a plastic-like seal on the floor, which makes it water-proof, hard, smooth, easy to clean, and polished. They are already prevalent in modern homes in the United States, and our company strives to become the leader in flooring in Rwanda.

We are recruiting to fill the position below:
