SOLVENTAS FOUNDATION
Investing in People. Removing Barriers. Expanding Possibility.
Solventas Foundation is a global nonprofit dedicated to removing barriers to health, education, and opportunity for under-resourced individuals and communities. For more than fifteen years, the organization has worked alongside local leaders, physicians, educators, and partners to deliver practical, sustainable solutions that create lasting impact—both in the United States and around the world.
Originally established as Integral Life Foundation, and later known as One5 Foundation, the organization has supported life-saving medical missions, built healthcare infrastructure in some of the world’s most underserved regions, and responded rapidly in moments of crisis. From deploying surgical teams in the aftermath of Haiti’s 2010 earthquake, to building clinics and maternal health facilities in Malawi, to equipping orphanages and community health programs with essential medical supplies, the foundation’s work has consistently focused on meeting urgent needs while strengthening local systems for the long term.
Today, all of this work lives under one unified identity: Solventas Foundation. The name reflects a clear belief—that meaningful change comes from solving real problems at their root and investing in people, partnerships, and community-led solutions. Solventas continues to expand its impact through global medical missions, education and scholarship programs, community health initiatives, and strategic partnerships that align compassion with accountability.
Looking ahead, Solventas Foundation is committed to deepening its global footprint, scaling sustainable healthcare and education models, and empowering the next generation of leaders and caregivers. By bringing together decades of experience, trusted relationships, and a renewed focus on measurable outcomes, Solventas is building a future where access to care, opportunity, and dignity is not determined by geography—but by our collective willingness to act.

PROJECTS
Haiti Disaster Relief & Medical Missions (2008-2010)
In 2008, as Hurricane Gustav caused more than $8.31 billion in damage and devastated large portions of Haiti, One5—now the Solventas Foundation—was already actively working in the country. When the hurricane struck, the organization rapidly returned to provide emergency medical support to affected communities.
The foundation transported critical, life-saving medical supplies from the United States, including analgesics, antibiotics, anti-allergy and anti-amebic medications, topical treatments, vitamins, and supplements. In addition to immediate relief, One5 focused on sustainability by preparing and distributing “leave-behind” medical kits for local providers. These kits included doctor’s bags, otoscopes, blood pressure cuffs, stethoscopes, thermometers, and other essential clinical tools to support ongoing care.
Following the catastrophic January 2010 earthquake in Haiti, One5 was among the first relief organizations on the ground. The foundation deployed surgical teams that delivered urgent, hands-on care and helped save hundreds of lives during the critical early days of the humanitarian response.
Together, these efforts reflect a long-standing commitment to rapid response, medical access, and durable impact in underserved communities during times of crisis.
The Haiti Project. Led by Integral Life Foundation (now Solventas Foundation) in partnership with C3 Missions International & Nueterra Healthcare (2008-Ongoing)
The Haiti Project was a collaborative humanitarian initiative led by Integral Life Foundation (now Solventas Foundation) in partnership with C3 Missions International and Nueterra Healthcare, created to address the urgent needs of Haiti’s most vulnerable population—abandoned and orphaned children.
At the time of the project, children under 15 represented approximately 40% of Haiti’s population, with an estimated 640,000 living in extreme poverty. Many lacked stable housing, access to education, adequate nutrition, medical care, and spiritual support. The Haiti Project was designed as a holistic response, addressing every major pillar required to build healthy, sustainable communities.
Through this partnership, the initiative:
Built and supported orphanages in multiple locations across Haiti
Established medical clinics, including a completed clinic in Gonaïves and plans for a second in Jacmel
Delivered primary and specialized healthcare, including surgical care
Provided nutritious meals, education, and faith-based community support
Worked alongside local Haitian churches to ensure long-term sustainability and local leadership
As a result of these efforts, the lives of more than 600 Haitian children were significantly improved, with plans in place to expand care to an additional 900 children. The project also laid the groundwork for a scalable partnership model intended to be replicated in other underserved regions around the world.
The Haiti Project reflects Solventas Foundation’s enduring mission to support under-resourced communities by integrating housing, healthcare, education, economic opportunity, and spiritual support—demonstrating how aligned partnerships can drive meaningful, lasting change.
