Uganda’s Legacy at Miss World
Uganda has had notable representations at the Miss World pageant over the years, particularly when the competition has been hosted in India. In 2024, Hannah Karema Tumukunde represented Uganda at the 71st Miss World competition in Mumbai, where she achieved remarkable success. Her dedication to social causes earned her the prestigious Miss World Africa Beauty with a Purpose (BWAP) award. Her project, which focused on keeping girls in school and providing menstrual hygiene management education, resonated deeply with judges and audiences alike. She secured a place among the top 8 contestants globally and emerged as the first runner-up for Miss World Africa.
Before Hannah, another Ugandan beauty queen, Quiin Abenakyo, made history at Miss World 2018. Her stellar performance saw her finish among the top 5 contestants worldwide. She was also crowned Miss World Africa, won the Head-to-Head Challenge, and secured the Miss World Global Vote, solidifying Uganda’s presence on the international beauty pageant stage.

As Natasha Nyonyozi prepares to represent Uganda, there is a strong wave of support from Ugandans who believe in her ability to make a lasting impact. With her unwavering commitment to autism awareness and social change, she embodies the true spirit of the Miss Uganda platform. Natasha’s journey to Miss World 2025 is not just about the competition; it is about amplifying the voices of those affected by autism and driving forward initiatives that bring meaningful change.
With a legacy of strong performances at Miss World, Uganda holds high hopes for Natasha’s success. Her dedication, intelligence, and advocacy work make her a strong contender, and many believe she has the potential to follow in the footsteps of previous Miss Uganda representatives who have left their mark on the world stage.
The countdown to Miss World 2025 has begun, and Uganda stands united behind Natasha Nyonyozi as she prepares to take her advocacy for autism awareness to the global stage.
