To provide communities in Nicaragua with the opportunity to improve their own healthcare systems while supporting sustainable development that creates jobs for members of these communities.

We believe at the cross section of healthcare, entrepreneurship, and renewable energy there is an opportunity.  This is our way of showing others how to take advantage of this opportunity and to harness sunshine for sustainable business and better health.

In pursuit of our mission, we have the incredible opportunity to partner with Grupo Fenix and Las Mujeres Solares in Nicaragua and the University of Dayton ETHOS program and School of Business Administration in the United States. As 2009 promises to be a great year for Salud del Sol, we are keeping ourselves focused on our mission through the following objectives:

Support the development of a solar powered production center in Sabana Grande de Totogalpa, Nicaragua for manufacturing solar autoclaves.

Develop domestic and international outreach programs for Salud del Sol to increase public awareness.

Complete the solar autoclave product design for release into rural communities in Nicaragua.

Create  a marketing strategy for the solar autoclave to be implemented in Nicaraguan clinics.

Continue to develop the organizational capacities of Salud del Sol.
