About Gladys
Gladys joined Action on Poverty (APT) in 2023, bringing a strong background in communications, fundraising, and international development developed across Latin America, the Caribbean, and the UK. Her passion for community-led change began in Ecuador, where she worked closely with indigenous Andean communities and volunteered as a communications assistant for an HIV support organisation in Quito, using storytelling to raise awareness and drive impact.
She later spent five years in Curaçao as an Immigration Manager and Advisor, working alongside human rights NGOs to support immigrants and refugees from Haiti, Colombia, and the Dominican Republic. These experiences strengthened her commitment to social justice, inclusion, and amplifying the voices of marginalised communities.
At APT, Gladys leads fundraising communications and supporter engagement, translating complex development projects into compelling campaigns that grow resources and deepen connection to APT’s work across Africa.
Outside of work, Gladys enjoys travelling, exploring interior design and creative spaces, and spending time gardening
