It was not so much a contest about beauty, but about humanity. The inaugural Miss Humanity International competition was held last week in Barbados. Some 15 participants from around the globe took part, showcasing the
issues they faced in their countries and their personal actions to solve them by membership in, and in some cases, founding of humanitarian or charitable organisations. At the finale on October 22nd the competition was deservedly won by Miss Lesotho ( Karabelo Mokoallo with her project Beauty on a Mission), with Miss Dominica taking a prize for Best National Costume. Founder Stephanie Yates is to be congratulated on successfully organising the first of what we hope will be an annual event. Here’s a gallery of photos from the event.
On behalf of the Miss Humanity International Organisation I wish to express sincere thanks to Barbados Caribbean Travel for this lovely article and coverage. We will certainly keep you up to date with the reigning queen Karabelo Mokoallo from the beautiful mountain kingdom of Lesotho as she continues her Beauty On A Mission project advocating for HIV/AIDS awareness and Breast Cancer.
Best Regards
Stephanie Yates
Founder of Miss Humanity International
I love the idea behind the competition, Stephanie, and am looking forward to the next one!
Thanks so much Sharon. The response internationally has been overwhelming we have had applications from Mexico, USA, Thailand, China, Japan. Australia, Zimbabwe, Puerto Rio and the lists keeps growing. We are convinced the 2012 edition will grow and surpass this year.

Excellent event at The Plantation Theater. Good to hear government offering to pledge $50 million to the arts. Let’s remember to ask to see it.
The ladies should be congratulated for showing such care and consideration in their causes.
The organizers showed great wisdom in believing in this event.
Thanks Stephen, the delegates were stellar! We believe in making a difference and in facilitating the exchange of culture. We hope that Government really does invests in the arts by supporting young entrepreneurs
