Miss Grand Kenya
Miss Grand Kenya is a national female beauty pageant in Kenya, established in 2024 by Tanveen Onyango, chairperson of The Drop Models Kenya modeling school, to select the country’s representatives for the Miss Grand International pageant. Prior to the creation of this formal national competition, all Kenyan representatives were appointed, the first being Pauline Akwacha, a national finalist of Miss World Kenya 2012, who was designated by Beauties of Africa Inc., under the direction of Andy Abulime, to compete at the inaugural Miss Grand International in Thailand in 2013.
Kenya’s only placement at Miss Grand International occurred in 2020, when Irene Ng’endo advanced to the top twenty finalists.
History
Since its inception of Miss Grand International, Kenya has participated intermittently in the pageant. In 2013, Pauline Akwacha, a Nairobi-based model and Miss World Kenya 2012 finalist, was selected by Beauties of Africa Inc., under Andy Abulime, to represent the country at the inaugural edition in Thailand, but she did not place.After a hiatus, Tony Chirah, director of Miss Kenya, held the title as a supplementary award in the 2014 national pageant, and the candidate was sent to the 2015 international event, while no Kenyan representatives competed from 2016 to 2019. In 2020, Irene Mukii, winner of Miss Africa 2019, acquired the license and appointed herself to compete in Thailand, reaching the top twenty finalists.
In 2024, the first standalone Miss Grand Kenya pageant was held, and Magdalene Takangiro was crowned; however, she is currently ineligible for the 2025 international edition, as the national license has not yet been renewed.
