Trizah Muhenje, 23, is Miss World Kenya 2026. The coronation ceremony took place in Nairobi on December 19, marking the beginning of her journey to represent Kenya at the 73rd Miss World Festival.

Previously the 1st Runner-Up of Miss World Kenya 2024/2025, Ivy steps into the national title with proven experience and continuity. The decision allows for early and focused preparation ahead of the global festival, with emphasis on training, wardrobe planning, and the development of her Beauty With a Purpose (BWAP) initiative.

A professional model and alumna of the Co-operative University of Kenya, Ivy combines academic background with strong public presence. She is an avid football fan, proudly supporting AFC Leopards locally and Manchester United internationally. A passionate supporter of the Kenyan national team, she is known for regularly attending matches and cheering from the stands.

Immediately after her crowning, Ivy moved into service, embodying the core values of Miss World. Partnering with the Runda Women Association, she paid a meaningful visit to the Githogoro community, sharing the joy of the Christmas season with families in need. The outreach included gift-giving, home visits, and open conversations centered on women’s empowerment and the importance of education.

In a separate BWAP activity, Ivy also visited the Mary Faith Children Centre, where she spent time with children, offering encouragement, hope, and inspiration. These early initiatives reflect her commitment to using her platform to create tangible, community-driven impact.

With her crown, Ivy Trizah Muhenje begins her reign focused on service, preparation, and national pride, carrying Kenya’s flag forward on the Miss World stage with purpose.
