As preparations intensify for the 75th Anniversary Edition of the Miss World Festival this September, Manila Standard reports that Miss World Bolivia, Vanessa Kraljevic, has been actively strengthening her advocacy work through international collaboration, including a recent visit to the Philippines.

During her stay, Kraljevic worked closely with leading pageant mentors, designers, and stylists, including handler Lynelle Valenciano and Q&A coach JV Canta, known for mentoring the 71st Miss World, Krystyna Pyszková.

A model and academic, Kraljevic holds a degree in Religion, Politics, and Society from King’s College London and is currently pursuing a law degree at the University of Law in London. She has also gained international exposure on the runway, having walked at New York Fashion Week for designer Giannina Azar.

Central to her journey is her Beauty With a Purpose project, “The Right to Real Education,” which aims to bridge learning gaps in Bolivia. The initiative has already made a significant impact, securing 20,000 scholarships for students from vulnerable communities and promoting access to education as a tool for empowerment.

Kraljevic has presented the project at the British Parliament, representing Latin America, and continues to collaborate with Bolivia’s Ministry of Education to expand its reach as a community-based model.

Her advocacy has also extended to the Philippines, where she conducted a school charity event and empowerment workshop, distributing educational kits and promoting self-esteem among young students. “From Bolivia to the Philippines, we continue bringing education, opportunities, and hope, because every child matters,” she shared.
