The money, according to Nunuhes will be used to cover costs of her wardrobe and her participation in a boot camp ahead of the main event on 03 March 2018.
Acknowledging the donation, Nunuhes said she will do her best to be a good Ambassador for the region and possibly bring the crown back home with her.
“I know this is a lifetime opportunity granted to me and I will not let my parents, sponsors and the region down. I will indeed go for gold and nothing less,” she said.
Chairperson of the Omaheke Regional Council, Ignatius Kariseb said the institution decided to assist Nunuhes in the spirit of fostering arts and culture in the region.
“Your participation in the competition, whatever the outcome, will put Omaheke on the map and will allow others after you to be noticed for similar opportunities,” he told Nunuhes.
The money, he said, is sourced from the regional council’s budget votes on social responsibility.
