Miss World beauty queen to visit Kenya for charity
Reigning Miss World title holder Mireia Lalaguna will be in Kenya from next Tuesday.
The Spanish beauty queen will jet into the country alongside Miss World chair and the founder of Beauty with a Purpose ambassador Julia Morley.
During the four-day tour, the two will visit local programs for Smile Train, the world’s largest cleft charity.
In 2014, Miss World Kenya Idah Nguma teamed up with Smile Train Africa to help raise awareness for children born with clefts, and to increase the number of cleft patients at Smile Train’s partner hospitals across the country.
Mireia will also be awarding Idah with Sh1 million prize, to benefit Smile Train.
"Miss World’s Beauty with a Purpose program gives contestants the opportunity to advocate for a cause and make a meaningful impact across global communities," says Smile Train Africa regional director Dr Esther Njoroge.
She adds: "We are excited that Mireia will be joining Smile Train’s local programs in Kenya and have the chance to meet with some of the cleft children we help as part of the initiative."
Across the African continent, Smile Train currently works with 223 partner surgeons and 204 partner hospitals.
Since inception, Smile Train’s Africa partners have performed more than 74,000 cleft surgeries in 35 countries.
East Africa currently represents approximately 40 percent of all Smile Train cleft surgeries in Africa.
