Nairobi - Miss Earth Kenya boot camp has kicked off, signalling the search for models who will represent Kenya at the prestigious Miss Earth International finals.

Mastering the catwalk

The bootcamp will arm contestants with a variety of skills ranging from nurturing sustainable tourism to mastering the art of the catwalk.

Miss Earth Kenya franchise holder Beverly Jalango said 16 finalists had been selected for the bootcamp that will go down at Emara Olesereni

"My team is optimistic that the process will produce a top delegate who will carry Kenya's flag high at the world event," Jalango said.

Adding:

"While the tradition of selecting the national delegate is strictly followed, Miss Earth Kenya as part of Miss Earth International, brings more value to beauty pageants by bringing to light the conscious effort of Environmental and Cultural Sustainability."

Models were taken through different training sessions at the boot camp.

Kenyan model crowned Miss Global

In February, Miss World Kenya finalist Joy Mutheu was crowned as Miss Global Kenya.

The Bachelor of Science in Mathematics (Statistics) graduate succeeded Eleanor Musangi in the international pageant.

The 23-year-old model represented the country in the prestigious Miss Global competition in Vietnam.

She noted that participating in the prestigious competition needed monetary support from the Kenyans and corporates.

"International pageants incur huge expenses therefore, I would also like to call upon sponsors to help facilitate various areas of the pageant," she said in an interview with TUKO.co.ke.

Whatever May come am going to represent you well, and your name will be spoken afar by many and in different languages," Musangi wrote on Instagram.
