It is time for the world to know who will be crowned Miss World 2014. The coronation ceremony is the culmination of the event that began on Nov. 20. The girls participated in several competition rounds. The most important of all the competitions is "Beauty With A Purpose." The contestants are judged on the basis of their value addition to the society. For the first time ever, there was not one but five girls were declared the winners for this competition. The winning five contestants are Miss India, Miss Kenya, Miss Brazil, Miss Indonesia and Miss Guyana.

The Miss World 2014 live event showed the work of the contestants from three countries -- Kenya, Indonesia and Guyana. Miss World Kenya 2014 Idah Nguma has worked to motivate the parents of children suffering from cleft lip to get the surgery done for them. Cleft lip is a common problem in Kenya. The condition leaves the upper lip of the child cut in half, leaving the baby unable to eat or talk. According to Idah, the problem of cleft lip leaves the kids "disgraced, isolated, rejected and sometimes even killed" because of the stigma attached to it.

Fortunately, the problem has a solution and can easily be cured through a minor surgery. Idah convinces the babies' parents to get the surgery done. Idah became emotional during one of the successful surgeries. After the baby's operation, she shed tears of joy, as was shown in her video clip.

According to the next video footage, Miss Indonesia, Maria Rahajeng, has worked to build an old dilapidated bridge for children. She took the responsibility to arrange the funds and even convinced the villagers to come together for the construction work. "We have built a golden pathway to better education and opportunities," Maria said.

And, Miss Guyana 2014, Rafieya Husain, has worked to highlight and make people aware about the domestic violence faced by young married women in her country. She revealed that she was one of the victims of domestic violence in the past, which made her do something about it. She also told the story of a brave 21-year-old girl named Natasha. Her two kids were killed by her husband in a drunken stupor. She also lost her right arm and fingers in the incident.
