About Anjos

A story that began with a personal decision and grew into a network of care.

The Anjos movement began in Goiás in 2012. Ludmilla Guimarães turned a family lesson about gratitude into practical solidarity, and the initiative grew with volunteers, professionals and companies.

The beginning

Before there was an organization, there was a personal choice.

Founder Ludmilla Guimarães experienced hardship in childhood. Years later, she wanted to teach her son that generosity is learned through practice. Those first small actions attracted volunteers, professionals, companies and partners.

From a few food baskets to a network of social action.

The movement expanded into emergency support, volunteer mobilization, professional training and partnerships. In 2020, it was formally registered as Associação Anjos Grupo Soma.
