Salud del Sol was founded by four students from the University of Dayton. After researching solar autoclaves, the company was formed as a way to expand this and other similar renewable energy, health-related technologies. We have backgrounds in both business and engineering, making us able to tackle diverse problems. Our multi-discipline, flexible approach helps people meet their own needs.

As an appropriate technology company, we bring multiple skills to assist our partners with their development needs. Salud del Sol conducts research and development, acts as custodian for intellectual property, secures funding through donations and grants, does market analysis and development, and provides other advice and assistance for long-term sustainability of small businesses in poverty stricken areas.

We recently applied to the IRS and were granted non-profit status as a 501(c)(3) organization.

Founders: Anna Young, Lori (Hanna) McIlvaine, Lauren Dokes and Daniel Hensel
