THE first edition of the Miss Humanity International Beauty Pageant was launched at the MJ Grand Hotel in Accra amid pomp and pageantry.
Organized by Xclusive Productions Ghana Limited, an event organizing and fashion company, the event seeks to empower young and upcoming ladies to be well cultured, educated, principled, talented, and instil in them good working and moral behaviours.
It will create a platform to encourage government and private businesses to help human kind through charitable causes.
The pageant will help contestants to display their talent while empowering them to develop their full potential.
The pageant will also educate on humanitarian issues, promote tourism and cultural exchange among participating beauty queens from Ghana and other countries since the winner will participate in an international competition in Barbados this year.
Speaking at the launch, Valentine Maayir, Assistant Director at the Ministry of Women and Children's Affair who represented the Minister, J uliana Azumah-Mensah http://www.ghana.gov.gh/index.php/information/meet-the-press/9134-presentation-by-hon-juliana-azumah-mensah-mp-minister-for-women-and-childrens-affairs-at-the-2011-meet-the-press-held-at-the-conference-room-of-ministry-of-information-on-thursday-17th-november-2011 , said the organizers of the event, Xclusive Productions Ghana Limited, had shown great energy and enthusiasm in organizing the beauty pageant to promote the status of women.
