The website mentions that Karolina is “very passionate about the voluntary work that she is involved with”. Her Beauty with a Purpose project ‘Zupa Na Pietrynie’ provides constant help to homeless people in crisis as well as raise awareness of this problem and fight against social exclusion. Every Sunday, Karolina prepares hot meals, sandwiches, food packages, hot drinks and medical support for around 300 homeless people and those in need.

She also furthered her support for the homeless community by organising a pop up COVID-19 vaccination centre. Many of the homeless people were unable to register to receive the vaccine as they do not have ID cards. Karolina felt it was important not only for them to feel safe, but also to feel equal by having the opportunity to receive the vaccine, the website states.

The contest was conducted in two parts — one in December 2021 and again in March 2022 — owing to the rising Covid cases.

India’s Manasa Narayan couldn’t make it to the top six.
