Little Miss Uganda is an annual event that was put in place as a platform for children to discover their capabilities but also instill confidence in a girl child.

Just like other previous pageants, this year’s competitions were organised in three categories including the TOTO Miss Uganda, the Mini Little Miss Uganda and the Little Miss Uganda.

However, due to the pandemic, only 16 contestants were taken in for the competition to ensure all had enough space during the pageant activities especially those in boot camp.

At the same, Tracy Ainembabazi, 8, was crowned Mini Miss Little Uganda replacing Queen Daniela Mukanza.
