Namatovu is a Makerere University student, who is soon graduating with a Bachelor’s Degree in Entrepreneurship and Business Management, and believes that with her ‘business professionalism’, she will be able to bring the crown home.

“I am planning to use this beauty pageant to gather all necessary resources to support youths who are in business, since this pageant is about business tourism, cultural exchange, fashion among other, I believe that I will represent my country well because personally I’m passionate about business,” she said during the unveiling ceremony.

Miss International has been in existence since 1960 and stands for Business tourism, International Business, Cultural exchange, Fashion, Creative Arts and Showbiz business among others. But Uganda will be making her debut appearance this year.

“We made a call for submission and received a big number of contestants. Since we had little time to make a decision, we had to choose someone who is familiar with pageantry, Beautiful, intelligent, and Namatovu was the perfect person for this,” she said.
