Meet Mande Ngoy
Mande Ngoy is a five-year-old girl from The Democratic Republic of Congo. Orphaned as a baby, she faced an uncertain future, one filled with struggle and despair. But that all changed when CORI stepped in.
Mande received the care, love, and support she desperately needed. Mande’s life has been transformed. She now has food, education, and medical care: things that once seemed impossible. She smiles, she dreams, and she believes in a future filled with possibilities.
With just $70 a month, you can help secure her future, and children just like Mande.
