Women of excellence search for 2018

So many women are contributing to the upliftment of the poor and the needy, but sadly, their dedication and unselfish commitment to the community goes unnoticed by the nation.

It is a fact that no pageant would be a success without the generous support and sponsorship of its sponsors. This includes the Miss Namibia pageant.

Their commitment to the Miss Namibia pageant as a vehicle to identify young intelligent, beautiful, enthusiastic Namibian girls, to be a role model for other young people and to make a contribution to the disadvantaged in society, should be applauded.

Through Miss Namibia's sponsorship they make their resources work for the betterment of our country and its people. It also gives them the opportunity to create more possibilities for charitable awareness and reward the Namibian community for their hard work and dedication for a better tomorrow.

At the 2007 Miss Namibia pageant, The Women of Excellence campaign was launched by Standard Bank Namibia where community members nominate women-run charity organisations as part of the project andnominees are placed in one of two categories; women who have contributed greatly to the less privileged and one for a spirit of generosity and kindness.

“The bank's support towards the Miss Namibia pageant goes beyond the beauty pageant. Ultimately, their support focuses on women that are contributing to the upliftment of the poor and the needy. The two will be financially rewarded by Standard Bank,” said Conny Maritz, Miss Namibia organiser.

Standard Bank has launched the sixth search for the Women of Excellence Award. The winners will be announced during the pageant in July 2018.

Entry forms can be collected at the standard bank head office in the town square centre, Windhoek on the fourth floor. The Namibian nation is again invited in the search, to nominate the women of excellence who have excelled in contributing in areas where specific communities most need their unconditional support, Maritz concluded.
