According to Meghan Nimwiza, the spokesperson of Miss Rwanda, all the 20 girls completed the bootcamp which was aimed at ensuring that the girls go back home with the necessary knowledge to help them find a more formidable role they can play in their communities.
“The idea of the bootcamp is to make sure that the girls see the world from another perspective since most of them are still young and since only one will be Miss Rwanda,”
“But how do they leave? Does the dream end here? No. The bootcamp basically was not just to prepare them for the final but also for life after Miss Rwanda,” Nimwiza said.
