Culture becomes stronger when the next generation
is given the confidence to carry it forward.
Miss Congo Canada™ is a social
pageant launched in Ottawa on June 21, 2012.
More than a traditional beauty competition,
the initiative was created to empower young
Canadian-Congolese women to become active citizens,
leaders and cultural ambassadors.
The program brings together mentorship,
leadership development and cultural celebration
while creating space for participants to build
confidence, strengthen their connection to their
heritage and engage with their communities.
Its mission also extends to awareness, education
and advocacy around issues affecting women and
children, with an impact intended to reach both
Canadian communities and the Democratic Republic
of Congo.
