Miss Teen Namibia 2025 Chantel Boeren has returned home after securing two accolades at the Miss Teen International pageant in India.
Boeren scooped the top model award alongside her placement as first runner-up overall, making her one of the most successful Namibian entrants in the competition’s history.
During her time in India, Boeren took part in several official cultural and educational exchanges, including an official visit to Jaipur National University and a tour of the Taj Mahal.
Speaking after the event, Boeren lauded her supporters across the country for backing her campaign.
“I am so grateful for all of the support you all have given me, you guys have been my pillar of strength,” Boeren said.
“The way you all rallied behind me, truly I felt the Namibian love and energy that I always speak so highly about.”
Boeren thanked her sponsors, the Namibian Broadcasting Corporation (NBC), as well as the Miss Teen and Miss Namibia Organisation.
“As Miss Teen International first runner up, this title has opened my eyes in so many ways, not only in the sense of seeing how capable I am but also seeing how capable our beautiful nation is when it comes to supporting our queens.
“Being on that stage was an opportunity and experience I’ll remember forever, making history on an international stage was a dream so big younger Chantel found impossible but here I am because we are.”
Delegation official Beaulah Boois-Beukes expressed gratitude to the international host crew, the NBC team behind the scenes, and Boeren’s family, who travelled with the delegation.
“As national director, we are also grateful to the beautiful service we received from the Miss International Organisation and their team. They really treated us well! The support we received from the NBC board of directors and Chantel’s mother played such an integral role as well, we thank her for giving us her child and for standing by her and forming part of the delegation in India!
“I loved the experience of such a well received and welcomed and supported candidate like Chantel.”
The Miss Namibia Organisation commends Boeren for her discipline and dignity, adding that her achievement serves as an inspiration to young Namibians.
