The Miss Africa GB pageant (Formerly Black Africa UK pageant) was founded in 2011. The pageant was formed with the sole purpose of giving young African girls born or living in the United Kingdom a platform to showcase not only their beauty but most importantly their culture, talent and creativity. The pageant is highly competitive and seeks to bring out those leadership qualities in women. The winner becomes a goodwill ambassador for Miss Africa GB, charged with designing and implementing a charity program based on her Pageant Platform. The foundation thereby supports the winner in executing their platform in serving humanity and making our world a better place. Over the last three years, our Queens have devoted their time to charity work in the UK and Africa. In addition to charitable giving, this pageant aims at promoting African culture, tourism and lifestyle to the wider world. The competition is part of the Miss Africa GB Pageant and Charity Awards. In addition to the beauty competition, the Grand Finale is a Charity Award ceremony recognising individuals and organisations that have in one way or another contributed immensely to a good cause.(www.missafricagb.com/about-us/our-mission Julie Gikami will be representing Bedford at this year's Miss Africa GB and this is what she had to say " I'm taking part in Miss Africa GB beauty pageant this year, and as the only Kenyan representative in the finals, I'm kindly seeking your vote and support. My goal in this competition is to raise awareness in Mental health in the African community, and challenge the stigma attached to it as a taboo subject. I would really appreciate your vote using the following link ( http://www.missafricagb.com/vote). Please NOTE the deadline for voting is the 13/10/17 Julie's challenge from Miss Africa GB is to raise funds for the grip of salvation orphanage in Nigeria. A couple selflessly accommodate orphans in their 3 bedroom home and there are over 70 children currently sharing their 3 bedroom house in an extremely congested state. The couple have successfully sent about 17 children to university, with no government funding, and will continue to do all it takes to better the future of these orphans. Every child deserves a chance and it's important that they're offered this opportunity. Let's come together and help support the selfless efforts of The grip of Salvation orphanage, click on the link https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/julie-gikami Please NOTE the deadline is the 11/10/17.
