ABOUT BEAUTY WITH A PURPOSE
The Miss World Organisation owns and manages the annual Miss World Finals, a competition that has grown into one of the world’s biggest. Since its launch in 1951, the Miss World Organization has raised more than £250 million for children’s charities. Miss World is franchised in more than 140 countries. Miss World becomes popular among the viewing public, which warrants the continuity of the pageant not only as a pageant itself but more importantly, an institution for humanitarian causes as a result of raising millions of pounds for charities around the globe under the banner of its “Beauty with a Purpose” program.
ABOUT MISS WORLD GUYANA
Guyana has a proven track record for delivering results and performance at the Miss World competition – with as recent as a top 10 placement in 2015 and 2014. It is expected that we will deliver the same results or even better this year with the general help, guidance and support from the Guyanese populace.
The Miss World Guyana organizer focuses on raising money for charities and mirroring the role and spirit of Miss World at a national level. Under new directorship since 2013, Miss World Guyana holds its annual pageant to identify young Guyanese women who exemplify beauty, talent, intelligence and compassion. The organization aims to create and empower role models who will serve as regional ambassadors, role models, charity representatives, enrich the perception of beauty, and enhance a new strength, energy and spirit for the advancement of women, while positively impacting their communities.
Miss World Guyana is not only the most holistic and aspiring job for any young woman but also one of the most prestigious titles to achieve as an accomplishment. The winner of Miss World Guyana represents Guyana with over 130 other countries at the annual Miss World finals. Each year Miss World Guyana entrants and finalists raise money for either chosen charities or projects supported through donations to local charities in need of assistance.
