The partnership is a joint global response against the spread of COVID-19 in 8of the markets where Jumia operates.
Jumia, the leading e-commerce platform in Africa has today announced a major partnership with Reckitt Benckiser, the global health products manufacturer to help consumers access hygienic products at the lowest price.
The partnership will provide a steady supply of hygiene products such as soap bars,
disinfectants, and liquid hand wash at affordable pricing. These products are facing
growing demand from consumers taking hygiene precautions to prevent the spread of the
COVID-19. Jumia will be taking 0% commission on Dettol, JIK and Harpic, and will reinvest
the initial commission into discounts on the consumer price.
Reckitt Benckiser is financing free shipping nationwide on all listed products. Consumers
will be able to access all products from the “Stay Safe” page on Jumia, co-owned with
Reckitt Benckiser.
“At Jumia, our primary concern is the health and well-being of our teammates, consumers,
partners and communities. We strive to continue operating so that customers continue to
use ecommerce as a safe way to shop in this challenging time. We are proud to work
closely with Reckitt Benckiser through the “Stay Safe” campaign, which shares consistent
information about COVID-19 and provides access to key hygiene products at the most
affordable price possible for our consumers !” Romain Christodoulou, SVP Jumia Group

avoid the virus from spreading. Jumia is creating several awareness campaigns which
direct consumers to both the ‘Stay Safe’ page and the ‘Mythbuster’ website.
“Reckitt Benckiser is delighted to partner with Jumia to ensure that access to the highest
quality hygiene and health products is a right, not a privilege. By financing nationwide free
