Miss Earthlife Africa International..beauty through culture and tourism
OFFICIAL STATEMENT
Dear Delegates, Directors, Partners, Sponsors, and Supporters,
After careful consideration and consultation with our leadership team, Miss Earthlife Africa International has made the difficult decision to postpone the 2026 Grand Finale that was scheduled to take place in South Africa this October.
This decision has not been made lightly. In light of current concerns and uncertainties affecting travel confidence among several participating African countries, we believe it is our responsibility to prioritize the safety, comfort, and peace of mind of all delegates, national directors, partners, and guests.
Miss Earthlife Africa International was founded on the principles of unity, cultural exchange, empowerment, and celebrating the beauty and diversity of Africa. We remain fully committed to these values and to providing an experience that allows every participant to feel safe, welcomed, and supported.
Our Executive Team is actively engaging with stakeholders and exploring the best way forward, including alternative dates, locations, and arrangements that will ensure a successful and inclusive event for all involved.
We appreciate the understanding, patience, and continued support of our MELAI family during this period. Further updates will be communicated as soon as decisions have been finalized.
Together, we remain committed to our mission of empowering women, promoting cultural heritage, advancing tourism, and championing environmental sustainability across Africa and beyond.
Thank you for standing with us.
