The Miss World's Beauty with a Purpose competition highlights the charity projects the contestants are passionate about.

Lehmann, in a video about her advocacy, describes her five-year plan to help the Jose R. Reyes Memorial Medical Center with a focus on helping babies whose mothers do not produce enough milk, but who also cannot afford to buy pasteurized milk.

The Miss World 2017 coronation event will be held in Sanya, China on November 18.
