Hosted by Ian Khan, a globally recognised futurist and technology expert, this Future Investment Initiative (FII 2025) interview explores how grassroots philanthropy and leadership are transforming education and social impact in developing regions. Ian engages with Noëlla Coursaris Musunka to discuss her journey, the vision behind Malaika Foundation, and how strategic partnerships, innovation and community-driven efforts can empower girls and entire communities in the Democratic Republic of Congo and beyond.
Noëlla Coursaris Musunka is the Founder & CEO of Malaika Foundation, a nonprofit organisation aiming to empower Congolese girls and their communities through free education, clean water, vocational training and agricultural programmes. Born in Lubumbashi, DRC, with Cypriot heritage, Noëlla overcame early personal challenges and went on to build Malaika’s community-led ecosystem, which includes a school, a community centre, 31 wells servicing tens of thousands of people, and technical training programmes — all provided without charge. Her role spans global advocacy, strategic leadership and on-the-ground impact in Africa.
