Entries for Miss Earth SA 2014 open
JOBURG - The Miss Earth South Africa Women Empowerment and Leadership Programme will begin its annual search for South Africa’s next 'green' beauty.
Young women between the ages of 18 and 26 are invited to submit their applications for the 2014 programme, which strives to empower young South African women to take an active role in sustainable development, food security, community greening, energy efficiency and carbon reduction programmes.
Applications for the 2014 programme are now open, and the organisation is eager to follow their phenomenal achievements of last year and to start working with amazing young women from across the country.
The programme aims to expose young South African women to important issues such as water stewardship, energy efficiency, renewable energies, glass recycling and sustainability. Successful candidates will have the platform to be hands-on by being involved in educational programmes, workshops and much more.
Miss Earth South Africa 2013 winner, Ashanti Mbanga, was fortunate to travel extensively during the year of her reign and believes that her participation in the programme has changed her life in numerous ways. “It was during the competition that I realised how blessed I am to have the sponsors, partners and support that I have; I never lacked for anything and that helped me to be fully involved in all levels of my international experiences.”
Entries close on 20 March and interview sessions will take place across the country from 29 March and throughout April.
