BioLite Inc HomeStove Sales Jobs in Nyandarua County, Kenya

Job Summary: BioLite Inc., a social enterprise, seeks full-time staff to support sales, delivery and after-sales service to Equity Bank customers who purchase the HomeStove – a clean-burning Jiko that generates electricity from the fire for lighting and mobile charging.

About BioLite: BioLite is a US-based social enterprise, which designs, manufactures, and markets energy products for off-grid communities around the world.

Half the planet still cooks on indoor open wood fires and the toxic smoke they emit kills nearly 4 million people every year. Indoor fires are also inefficient, requiring double the fuel of more efficient stoves, and producing particles, which pollute our atmosphere contributing to climate change.

In response to these challenges, BioLite has developed the HomeStove. The HomeStove is an advanced, affordable, clean-burning stove that can reduce indoor smoke by 90%, and reduce fuel use by half. Additionally, the HomeStove produces electricity from the fire for charging phones and lights.

In Kenya, BioLite is launching sales of the innovative HomeStove through the Microfinance Institution channel. Ensuring customers are happy with their HomeStove and using it regularly is key to achieving a positive social and environmental impact – this is where we need you!
