MODEL FAITH WANYAMA CROWNED MISS EARTH KENYA 

Model Faith Wanyama from Busia County has been crowned Miss Earth Kenya 2024, and will represent the country at the global Miss Earth pageant in September 2024. 

Wanyama’s crowning came after two days of bootcamp that saw her fend off competition from 8 other contestants, who had been selected into the finals after a public call for participation that saw 3,000 applications.

“I am really delighted to have been named Miss Earth Kenya 2024. This is a surreal moment for me because I was up against tough competition, but I am thankful that the judges saw it fit to award me the crown. I know this title will open up great opportunities for me, including the chance to represent my country on a global platform, where I promise to do my level best,” said Wanyama.

Beverly Jalango, the Miss Earth Kenya franchise holder, congratulated Faith, noting that she had outperformed herself. “Faith Wanyama really deserved the title. When you are up against a competition of over 3,000 people, it is imperative that you have special characteristics for you to stand out, and Faith checks all the boxes,” she said.
