Maranatha Academy awards a scholarship to Ireen Navicha to pursue a Master’s degree at Sharda University in India. The school presents the scholarship following Navicha’s participation in the Miss World pageant held in Vietnam, where she represented Malawi.
According to reporting, Maranatha Academy Director Dr Ernest Kawonga frames the scholarship as a way to honour Navicha, who is described as a former student of the academy. The Malawi Voice report adds details on the scholarship’s value, stating it is K20 million, and links the decision to Navicha’s achievements at Miss World, including reaching the Top 40 and placing within Africa’s Top 10.
Both outlets agree on the core elements: Navicha receives support from Maranatha Academy, the degree is at Sharda University in India, and the recognition is tied to her Miss World representation and results. Differences in emphasis focus on the scholarship amount and specific pageant placements, while the overall purpose remains consistent across sources.
