ModeIing has taken Noella from her first shoot for Agent Provocateur to the global stage in publications including Vogue, Marie Claire, Vanity Fair and ELLE. As her career blossomed and she traveled the world, she discovered a platform through which she could share her passion for human rights.

In 2007, Noella decided that she wanted to build a school for girls to provide a quality education in the DRC. Being a woman with purpose and with a passionate heart, she focused her efforts and talents towards this great goal and that was just the beginning of an incredible journey!

Founded in 2007, Malaika is a nonprofit that impacts thousands of lives in the DRC through enhanced access to education, health programs and clean water.
