Who We Are

Eternal Anchor

In the heart of rural Mexico, our team is building a movement of inclusion—bringing people together across cultures and backgrounds to ensure that children and adults with disabilities are seen, valued, and empowered to thrive. 

What We Do

We serve more than 250 families impacted by disability.

Eternal Anchor was founded in 2014 to respond to the unmet opportunity of serving individuals and families impacted by disability in the communities of rural Baja California, Mexico.

Why We’re Here

We aim to heal social divisions.

We work hard to heal social divisions so that all members of our community can be valued, experience belonging, and reach their God-given potential.

For Treva Richards, her first experience with Eternal Anchor began as a physical therapy intern from UTMB Health. A year later, she came back to the San Quintín Valley—this time as a licensed physical therapist volunteering alongside our Health and Therapy Services team.

Treva is the first former intern to return to Eternal Anchor as a licensed professional, and her story reflects what we hope these experiences can offer: meaningful clinical learning, relationships that continue beyond a rotation, and the opportunity to understand healthcare within the context of another community and culture.

For PT and OT students considering a global health internship, Treva shares what she learned, what stayed with her, and why she chose to return.

That kind of shared communication builds more than language skills. It creates connection, strengthens relationships, and helps make belonging part of everyday classroom life.

Sometimes inclusion is built through big changes. More often, it grows in ordinary moments when people learn how to meet one another with attention, patience, and understanding. #InclusiveEducation #mexicansignlanguage #disabilityinclusion
