Susan Anyango beat a total of 4,177 contestants from 9 counties to don the Miss World Kenya crown.
After gruelling months of training in hair and beauty, etiquette, leadership and talent, catwalking and modeling, Susan was hand picked as the best of the beauties in the Nestea Miss World Kenya 2011 pageant, whose finals were held at the Oak Place Center in Nairobi on Saturday night.
Hailing from Githurai, this is not the first challenge that has come Susan's way, and the 19 years of her life have been a struggle to make ends meet.
With her father dying of liver failure when Susan was only four, she had to endure the loss of her mother at 12. Her mother succumbed to leukaemia, a blood cancer. This has made Susan an advocate for fighting cancer.
Having had to bring herself up, surviving on her ingenuity and the inheritance her parents left her, Susan has managed to put herself through high school and went on to join Kenya Methodist University.
Taking over from the previous Miss World Kenya Natasha Metto, Susan will champion the task of jigger eradication in Kenya.
She will also represent Kenya at the Miss World 2011 pageant in October this year, in London.
Susan was presented with a new car, with a one-year comprehensive insurance and fuel by Ashley’s Kenya.
