Though modeling and motherhood characterize her life, Ms Mibo also supports and works closely with charitable organisations within the United Kingdom that campaign and run empowering projects in her native DR Congo in support of vulnerable children and their families. For Mibo; it's heartbreaking knowing that her beloved nation knows very little stability with a low quality of living; including poor education system, poor health services and many more ills, despite the country being one of the countries in the world with the richest soil, not forgetting millions of children and their families whom are victims of ills brought by decades of war. Mibo left DR Congo at the tender age 14 years and is very much familiar with the everyday struggles that majority of families goes through on the daily basis in order to survive. She's forever thankful to her parents for giving her and her siblings the opportunity to study and work in the United Kingdom but that was never going to make her forget her roots, after all it's her "motherland" although she is very much British in her culture and considers Britain as her second home, her heart remains in the DR Congo.
As a result, She is determined to use her voice, talent and any given platform to advocate on the behalf of all the children and the vulnerable families by working in partnership with existing organisations to rebuild a better Congo, a Congo with peace with itself.
Hence, in August 2013, Mibo launched her annual fundraising event titled "PassionForMotherland”. The event is created to support empowering projects in the DR Congo by bringing like-minded individuals together to celebrate, network and discover new talents, burgeoning creativity in the fields of fashion, music and poetry whilst at the same time raising awareness and funds for the chosen charity. The annual fundraising affair is set to be one of biggest events in London where designers from different backgrounds and cultures are to showcase their work alongside other talented artists such as musicians, poets, dancers and more.
Lisette Mibo is a commercial model; specialising in film and printed adverts, magazine features, catwalk shows, and making special guest appearances at events. She recently judged at the 1st Miss Afrique Francophone UK 2013. It was an awesome experience for her to have been on the deciding panel and to have been trusted for her experience and expertise in the fashion and beauty industry, alongside other co-judges in selecting a beauty queen with poise, elegance, intelligence and beauty.
