A Queen's Final Bow: Faith Wanyama

Dear Fellow Earth Champions,

As I prepare to pass on this crown, my heart overflows with gratitude. Representing Kenya as Miss Earth has been more than a title—it has been a sacred mission of service, transformation, and love for our planet.

Throughout my reign, I’ve stood in the soil of change—leading campaigns, planting trees, uplifting communities, and advocating for sustainable futures. I’ve witnessed how even the smallest act, rooted in intention, can bloom into lasting impact.

My journey to the Philippines was a whirlwind of culture, connection, and pride. Standing tall for Kenya, I felt every moment infused with purpose from sharing our rich heritage to celebrating the beauty of global unity.

The highlight was receiving the Best in Heritage Attire – Bronze Award, a tribute to the spirit woven into my ensemble and the story behind it. That recognition was more than a medal, it was a nod to Kenya’s vibrant traditions and the resilience I carry with every step.

But beyond the policies and projects, my proudest moments have been found in the eyes of young girls I’ve mentored, the women I’ve empowered, and the lives touched through our Sustainable Poverty Alleviation Initiative. Through it, we’ve not only donated items—we’ve restored dignity, sparked confidence, and offered hope wrapped in compassion under the Faith Wanyama Initiative.

To my successor: you inherit more than a crown—you inherit a calling. Lead with courage, listen with empathy, and remember, the Earth does not need perfection; it needs your passion. You are more than ready.

To every supporter, mentor, and believer—thank you. You are the heartbeat of this movement. Your faith in me transformed possibilities into purpose.

Though this chapter ends, the mission continues. I step aside, not in farewell, but in faith—that together, we will keep nurturing this beautiful Earth with fierce love and unwavering resolve.
