Miss Ghana 2026 Rumzia Sule celebrates top 6 Africa recognition for BEWAP Project
Miss Ghana 2026, Rumzia Sule, has expressed joy after being recognised among Africa’s Top 6 Beauty With A Purpose (BEWAP) projects at Miss World.
Sharing her excitement, Rumzia said the honour means a lot to her.
According to her, through her project, The Green Gateway, she has sought to inspire environmental responsibility by organising clean-up exercises, tree planting and encouraging young people to understand that protecting the environment is not only the responsibility of governments or organisations, but a shared responsibility that begins with everyday choices.
She described The Green Gateway as a long-term project which she hopes to expand across Africa and the world.
“I am deeply grateful to Miss World for recognising the vision behind this project and for providing a platform where purpose and meaningful impact are celebrated,” she noted.
Rumzia also extended appreciation to the Chief Executive Officer, Inna Patty, and the entire team at Exclusive Events Ghana, organisers of Miss Ghana and franchise holders of Miss World Ghana, for believing in her and giving her the opportunity to bring The Green Gateway to the global stage.
“This recognition is a beautiful reminder that when purpose is given a platform, it can inspire change far beyond where it begins,” she added.
This Beauty With a Purpose initiative offers encouragement, hope and new opportunities to people in local communities.
In all beauty queens from 111 countries have converged in Vietnam for the ultimate crown of Miss World Ghana.

The Ministry of Health has cautioned the public against a fraudulent fundraising campaign being aired on Ghanaian televisions, which falsely solicits money to support patients seeking surgical treatment through Mercy Ships.
Mercy Ships International, an international Christian organisation providing free surgical care and education across Africa, currently has its hospital vessel, The Global Mercy, docked at the Tema Port.
The vessel is expected to provide free surgeries to more than 2,500 Ghanaians over a 10-month period ending in June 2027.
The Ministry has clarified that patients scheduled for treatment were identified and pre-screened ahead of the vessel’s arrival through a coordinated process involving Mercy Ships and the Ministry, based on established medical and eligibility criteria.
According to them, Mercy Ships is currently operating at full capacity and is not accepting additional patients for the ongoing field service.
The Ministry emphasised that payments or registrations through third parties will not guarantee access to treatment.
The fraudulent broadcast, featuring an organisation identified as ‘HELP Save LIFE Foundation,’ solicits financial contributions through an MTN Mobile Money account.
“The Ministry wishes to state categorically that the campaign is not affiliated with, authorised by or endorsed by Mercy Ships,” the statement noted.
They reminded the public that all medical services provided by Mercy Ships are entirely free, and no patient is required to make payments, donations or mobile money transfers to access treatment.
Members of the public have therefore been advised not to make payments, share personal or financial information with individuals claiming to facilitate access to the services, or engage with similar suspicious solicitations.
The ministry encouraged the public to rely solely on official Ministry of Health and Mercy Ships communication channels for accurate information on medical services and patient access.
