DR Congo: Gloire's Journey - From the Dust to Dignity

This article is about Gloire’s story, which illustrates the impact a single wheelchair can have. In Lualaba, she is one of only two individuals recently supported through World Vision’s GIK program. This gesture transformed her life and rekindled hope. Her story calls for continued support for people living with disabilities. Behind every donation is a life changed, dignity restored, and a community inspired. And as long as children like Gloire keep dreaming upright, the work toward a more inclusive world must continue.
