Celina de Sola was born in El Salvador and educated in the United States. She holds a Masters in Public Health from Harvard and Social Work from the University of Pennsylvania.
Celina traveled the world for many years as a humanitarian aid professional. During this time she saw how much potential there was in helping to train and equip countries to better respond to their own crises.
After visits home and seeing first hand the effects of her area troubled by violence and lack of opportunity, she felt a growing desire to return permanently to her native El Salvador and Central America, with a commitment to foster change and mobilize resources for public health and education services.
With her own ideas for a new model that was more efficient, effective and sustainable, Celina with her husband and brother, founded Glasswing International in 2007.
Driven locally, but leveraging global resources, is Glasswing International’s mantra. Its innovative and sustainable model has enabled it to become a prominent Central American non-profit that maintains its headquarters in El Salvador with six regional offices in Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama and the United States and over 160 employees.
