Kampala, Uganda | May 2025
Miss Uganda 2024-2025, Natasha Nyonyozi, has officially arrived in Telangana, India, where she is proudly representing Uganda at the Miss World 2025 competition. With grace, intelligence, and a heart rooted in purpose, Natasha carries not just the Ugandan sash but also a powerful message — one of autism awareness and inclusion, a cause she has devoted herself to through her foundation, The Nyonyozi Initiative.
At just 24, Natasha has emerged as a formidable advocate for children and families affected by autism, dedicating her Miss World Beauty with a Purpose project to advancing awareness, policy, and compassion around neurodiversity in Uganda. Through her initiative, she has championed conversations around inclusion, lobbied for more autism-sensitive laws and policies, and helped shape national awareness campaigns that are now shifting public perception.
“As a nation, we are still learning to fully embrace children and adults on the spectrum,” Natasha shared in a recent interview. “My dream is for every child with autism in Uganda to be seen, understood, supported, and celebrated — not just tolerated.”
Her work has been lauded by educators, parents, and even policymakers, and her presence at the Miss World stage is not just symbolic — it is a statement of advocacy, of heart, and of a Uganda that cares deeply about inclusion.
In the lead-up to her departure, Natasha has also been actively taking care of her mind and body. As part of her wellness preparation, she partnered with Wellness with Her Club, a local women-led movement that centres holistic health, intentional movement, and confidence-building for young women.
“We’ve had the honour of walking alongside Natasha during her preparation, focusing on both her mental clarity and physical grounding,” said Rianne Bateeze, the Founder of Wellness with Her Club. “Her commitment to inner wellness, even in the midst of a high-pressure international journey, is a reflection of the depth and grace she carries.”
As Natasha embarks on this international chapter, we call upon all Ugandans at home and abroad to stand behind her. You can show your support by downloading the Miss World app and voting for Natasha Nyonyozi as she represents the Pearl of Africa with dignity, brilliance, and purpose.
Uganda is proud. The world is watching. And Natasha is ready.
