My name is May Alba I'm founder and CEO of rubberit.
Rubberit is solving one of the world's most pressing problems:
The lack of access to condoms.
In Mexico, 180 million condoms are bought each year.
But in total, more than 1 billion condoms are needed
to fully address the demand of those sexually active in the country.
On a global scale, nearly 27 billion condoms are sold,
but more than 217 billion condoms are required per year.
In order to solve this problem, rubberit is delivering condoms to clients in 7 countries.
And for every *** bought through our platform we are donating another one
directly in rural communities, marginalized areas, and at-risk population sectors,
by means of our "Buy One, Give One" program: rubberit1x1,
where we also offer *** health education, and we follow-up constantly
in order to establish measurable data on the impact we are generating.
My mission at rubberit's helm is to procure health and education using innovative means,
because I believe that the lack of access to condoms is
a matter of public health, education and poverty that affects all of us.
And only through innovation it can be solved.
Every day I face new challenges, as a person, as a movement, as a business.
Nevertheless, knowing that 60% of our donation recipients
are adopting regular *** use as their primary means of contraception,
I believe is my greatest motivator to continue daily in this mission,
maturing as a person, and as a business.
In the short time rubberit has been alive
we have prevented over 17,000 unintended pregnancies and the proliferation of more than 76,000 STIs.
But that's not all.
We are also changing paradigms by having a woman fronting this company,
by establishing successfully the "Buy One, Give One" model, and not only that;
we are also promoting a new path to education and access to *** health and protection.
But the most important point is that at rubberit we are saving lives.
My personal goal is to affect in positive ways the lives of millions of people worldwide.
I want the world to be a better place because I was here.
And Mexico is only the beginning
