About Face of Murang'a Initiative
Who We Are
Celebrating Beauty. Honouring Excellence. Inspiring Murang'a.
Face of Murang'a Initiative is a county-based youth empowerment and recognition platform. Its flagship is one night: the Mr & Miss Face of Murang'a County & Face of Murang'a Gala Awards, where the county crowns the young people who will represent it and honours the people and institutions doing outstanding work across it.
Our vision is to become Kenya's leading county-based youth empowerment and recognition platform. Our mission is to identify, develop and celebrate outstanding individuals while creating platforms that inspire leadership, accountability, innovation and opportunity.
It all happens on 5 December 2026 at Samarine Resort & Spa, Maragua, Murang'a County. Talent is everywhere. Opportunity is not.
