Noëlla Coursaris is a model, humanitarian and philanthropist. Noëlla was born in Lubumbashi, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

Noëlla has addressed UNICEF and the Congolese Parliament about issues facing underprivileged girls, was a panelist in the Global Creative Leadership Summit in 2009 and is frequently invited to speak for the United Nations. Noëlla was educated in Belgium and Switzerland, and after achieving a degree in business management, she moved to London. Her successful modeling career brought Noëlla to New York where she started the Georges Malaika Foundation (GMF) in 2007.

GMF is committed to solving the education crisis in the DRC and dedicated to raising the literacy rate for Congolese women. Noëlla, with the help of Doc 2 Dock, has helped to secure the delivery of $2,500,000 in medical supplies to hospitals in her birthplace, the town of Lubumbashi in the Katanga Province, greatly benefitting the people of the region.
