Beautiful Gate

The Beautiful Gate Care Centre, located in Maseru, Lesotho, offers a sanctuary to orphaned, abandoned, and also HIV/AIDS affected children, ages newborn to 5 years old, giving them not only the care they need, but also the comfort and love they deserve.

In a country afflicted by overwhelming poverty and extreme disease, children are often tragically neglected, abandoned and forgotten by society. BGL counters this heartbreak by ensuring these precious lives are more than statistics.

The ultimate goal is to unite these children with forever families that will love them as their own. Until that is accomplished, Beautiful Gate Lesotho is their family. The staff and volunteers love these children as their own. They are given opportunities to go to school, play with friends and do meaningful chores around the house, just like any other child.  They have the same physical and emotional needs that all children do. Over the years, BGL has cared for hundreds of children, with over 400 reunified with families or adopted. Their mission remains clear: “To glorify God by providing opportunities for children and families to grow spiritually, emotionally, physically and intellectually.”

In the past, Andrew Pimm, (Jane McBride’s husband), visited the centre every autumn, along with Jenny Dobson, who is our contact person residing in the UK. Together they traveled to Lesotho to spend time with the children, caring for them, and bringing much needed medical supplies and also cash donations to buy essential items purchased locally. Sadly, Andrew passed away 4 years ago. However, Jenny continues to work with this project and as well as Andrew’s daughter Lucy. Your donations will enable them to purchase medicine to treat fever, coughs, and common illnesses, as well as disinfectant and bandages. Other essential items such as food, clothing and hygiene products will be purchased on site. Beautiful Gate meant a lot to Andrew, so it seems only fitting that we continue to support this project in his memory.

Please consider making a financial donation. For cash donations you may use the mission envelopes in the front of your hymnals during our service or make a bank transfer to our Mission Account: BE81 0019 8876 4324
