Anaeli was born and raised in Guatemala. She seeks constant learning and growth, and is inspired by the constant wonder of children. She Is convinced that vulnerable women or children, when given the opportunity, can transform their communities.

Anaeli has chosen to work in IJM as a result of a true conviction and belief in God´s heart for justice and has been part of the advocacy and mobilization and the monitoring and evaluation teams in IJM Guatemala.

At Latitude, we are a creative agency whose core belief is that business should be a force for good in the world. Our partnership with IJM for the past 8+ years has enabled that to happen. Each month, our team has had the privilege of funding a rescue and hearing from IJM on our impact. Our team celebrates each of these rescue operations and the lives changed. We’ve even been able to travel to the field and see the work first-hand. We have learned so much about the issue of slavery around the globe, IJM's fight to change this reality, and how any of us can be a part of their life-changing work.

“It’s so good to know that there is a church (Redemption Hill Church) and there is a family out there who actually prays for me and sends me cards of encouragement.

This work is tough. But with their prayers and support, I know everyday I can make it go forward. I’m encouraged, truly, their words are beautiful. Thank you!”
