BWAP 2026 - Nigeria
Soye Karibi-George promotes equal opportunities through Beyond Labels, a BWAP initiative supporting people with disabilities and individuals facing mental health challenges.
Miss World Nigeria Soye Karibi-George is using her Beauty With a Purpose project, Beyond Labels, to promote inclusion, dignity, and equal opportunities for people who are often defined by societal stereotypes. The initiative focuses on supporting persons with disabilities, individuals facing mental health challenges, and other marginalized groups, while encouraging greater acceptance and understanding throughout Nigeria.
Through advocacy campaigns, educational visits, and community partnerships, Soye raises awareness about inclusion, supports children with special needs, and promotes youth development through educational initiatives. Her work also encourages communities to embrace diversity, celebrate individuality, and inspire young people to recognize their own potential.
The project has collaborated with organizations including the Engraced Life Foundation, the GFK Edanuko Foundation, the Ijaw Youth Council, and community schools across Rivers State and other parts of Nigeria, expanding opportunities for education, empowerment, and social inclusion.
The 75th Miss World Festival will take place in Vietnam from August 9 to September 5, culminating with the Grand Final in Nha Trang on September 5, where contestants from around the world will present their Beauty With a Purpose initiatives.
