While the research and development is facilitated by members of Salud del Sol, the production of the solar autoclave will be housed by a group of entrepreneurial women "Las Mujeres Solares" (literally, The Solar Women) living and working in the rural community of Sabana Grande de Totogalpa, Nicaragua.

The socialized heath care there prohibits clinics from paying for them. Donations cannot be made yet, as Salud del Sol is still in the process of filing for non-profit status. In the mean time, please visit the Salud del Sol website for other ways to contribute to the mission of this organization.
