A lady of indomitable faith is the best way to describe Maria Wavinya, Miss World Kenya 2019.

She failed to clinch the Miss Nyandarua Tourism Contest, emerging number five. Undeterred, she moved on to contest for the Miss World Kenya title, and won.

The defeat in the Nyandarua contest has not been the only challenge in her life. The beauty queen lost her mother at the age of 12 and has had to work her way up to her present title.

Now more than ever, she is determined to bring the Miss World title and crown to Kenya come December 15, 2019.

Her resolve is evident in the inspiring speech she gave during farewell party organized in her honour at Lake Olbolosatt Resort Park in Nyandarua County.

“I believe as I go to London I have the support of every Kenyan. I believe I am going to take the Miss World crown. Who says it’s impossible? Who says Miss Kenya will never take the Miss World Crown?” Ms Wavinya challenged during the dinner at Lake Olbolosatt Hotel.
