BWAP 2026 - Panama

Miss World Panama 2026, Madeline Elena Miller Vergara, is promoting greater understanding and inclusion for children living with invisible conditions through her Beauty With a Purpose project, Each One Shines Differently. Inspired by her own experience of bullying and her journey with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), the initiative encourages children, families, educators, and communities to recognize that every child deserves to be seen for their abilities rather than their challenges. 

Madeline’s project focuses on supporting children with ADHD, epilepsy, learning differences, anxiety, and other neurological and developmental conditions. Through workshops, educational activities, family support programs, and partnerships with schools and organizations, she works to promote inclusion and practical tools that help children thrive with confidence and dignity.

Her initiative also addresses the emotional impact of bullying, providing guidance and support for children and teenagers between the ages of 5 and 19, while engaging parents, educators, and families in creating more inclusive environments. Drawing from her own experiences, Madeline hopes to ensure that no child feels invisible because of differences that are often misunderstood.

Currently 23 years old, Madeline is studying Business Administration and has worked professionally as a model, including gaining international experience in Spain. She also has a strong interest in leadership, communication, entrepreneurship, and community service. 

Madeline will represent Panama at the 75th Anniversary Edition of the Miss World Festival, taking place in Vietnam from August 9 to September 5.
