In a notable accomplishment, 22-year-old Adwoa Tima Awuah has earned a coveted spot in the finals of the esteemed Miss Germany awards, a platform renowned for recognizing women for their societal contributions, as reported by Graphic Showbiz.
Miss Germany has transcended traditional beauty standards to become an accolade honoring women actively involved in societal responsibilities and impactful projects benefiting the German community. Adwoa Tima Awuah, the founder of the Yemiyiefo Foundation (YFM Ghana), has secured a place as a finalist, lauded for her outstanding contributions.
Established in 2021, the Yemiyiefo Foundation focuses on supporting young girls in rural areas of Ghana, ensuring their completion of Junior High School (JHS) and transition to Senior High School (SHS).
The foundation has already granted 15 full scholarships to girls in underserved communities for JHS education and conducted Life Skills workshops, reaching over 1000 Junior High School students in the Eastern and Central Regions of Ghana.
In addition to her impactful work in Ghana, Adwoa is actively engaged in a mission to improve the lives of African immigrants in Germany. Her project involves offering psychosocial services to aid the integration of migrants into German society.
Notably, Adwoa Tima Awuah stands out as the youngest and sole black candidate among the top 10 finalists in the Miss Germany competition. The grand finale is set to take place on February 24 at Europapark, Germany.
Articulating her mission at Miss Germany, Adwoa emphasized, “As a former migrant from Ghana to Germany, I know how challenging migration and integration can be, especially without sufficient support. My mission at Miss Germany is to create more empathy for migration and integration with a documentary. I also work at a psychosocial center to support migrants, especially the African community. This trip is more than a mission. It is my connection to my roots, the challenges of my family, and the difficulties of all those who had to leave their familiar surroundings and start anew in Germany.”
