Their love for neighbour and humanity has been passed on to the children who through the GMLB Foundation plans to do as much or better than our parents in the caritive activities that have always been at the centre of their earthly life.

Our Vision

Our parents especially Marie Louise Radji used to say that she would not want to have money just to satisfy her selfish needs. His philosophy was God giving us wealth in order to help all people in need and that there is no point in having financial means without being able to share it with others. All her life our mother had a vision of a just, equitable, supportive, humane and spiritually connected world to God regardless of the religion we believe in.

She wanted to contribute to a world where girls, women, orphans and orphans, widows are healthy, well-educated and able to participate fully in the development of their country.

The vision of THE GMLB Foundation is to contribute to building a society where children receive a quality education and live in a healthy environment with equitable access to clean water and health care.
