H'Hen Niê (pronounced [həːhɛnnieɪ] hə-HEN-nee-EH;[citation needed] born 15 May 1992)[1] is a Vietnamese model and beauty pageant titleholder.

[citation needed] After graduating from high school, H'Hen studied for a year at Nha Trang National Ethnic Community College before moving to Ho Chi Minh City to study corporate finance at the College of Foreign Economic Relations.

In the months leading up to the pageant, H'Hen's training and preparation was documented and aired as a YouTube series called Road to Miss Universe 2018.

She became a global ambassador for Room to Read in 2018, a non-profit organization focusing on providing resources for girls' education and literacy programs.

As global ambassador, she has raised approximately $20,000 for a project to build a new library in Lam Dong and to provide scholarships for girls in Asia and Africa so that they could complete secondary education school and develop key life skills.

[18][15] The library was opened in October 2018, housing over 3500 titles for students at Bao Thuan Elementary School, and the local community to use.

[20] In February 2019, she spoke to 12,000 students at a conference organized by the Francis Padua Papica Foundation in Naga, Camarines Sur, Philippines where she shared her stories and affirmed her stance on believing in oneself to overcome one's challenges.

[21] A month later, H'Hen initiated a project that would provide clean water and street lights to people in her village.
