From May 31 to June 3, Miss World 2015 Mireia Lalaguna will travel to Kenya alongside Julia Morley, Miss World Chair and the founder of Beauty with a Purpose ambassador program, to visit local programs for Smile Train, the world’s largest cleft charity. During the visit they will have the opportunity to learn more about the organization’s sustainable model and meet with Smile Train’s local partners who are on the ground helping cleft patients 365 days a year.
In 2014, Miss World Kenya Idah Nguma teamed up with Smile Train Africa to help raise awareness for children born with clefts and to increase the number of cleft patients brought to Smile Train’s partner hospitals across Kenya. Through this collaboration, Idah has been a great advocate for Smile Train and with her involvement in the Beauty with a Purpose ambassador program, Idah set the ambitious goal to see that every baby born with a cleft in rural Kenya receives treatment.
