Riddhi Damodar to Crown Winners at Hope Charity Carnival

Designer, entrepreneur, and social media influencer Ms.Riddhi Damodar will officially crown the winners of the 2025 Hope Charity Carnival this weekend, bringing a grand and glamorous close to the week-long event.

Held at the Lautoka Grounds, the Hope Charity Carnival has attracted contestants from all walks of life to compete in a series of dynamic and meaningful challenges. From talent shows to public speaking rounds and community service activities, the carnival is not just a beauty pageant — it is a celebration of confidence, creativity, and compassion.

Each night has brought its own excitement, with contestants performing traditional dances, singing, acting, and presenting advocacy campaigns on youth issues, health, and education. These talent nights are designed to push contestants outside their comfort zones while allowing them to connect with the public in meaningful ways.

In addition to their performances, participants have been involved in hands-on outreach projects, lending support to local charities, visiting hospitals, and promoting wellness campaigns in schools. This mix of fun and service is at the heart of the Hope Carnival’s mission: empowering youth through action and awareness.

Riddhi Damodar, who has a large following for her work in fashion and social empowerment, will no doubt add more excitement to the crowning.

Funds raised from the carnival, organized by Ana Masere, will go toward community development projects
