Beautiful Gate Lesotho exists to reach out to orphaned, abandoned, and neglected children ages newborn to 5 years old, and give them the love they need and deserve.

In a country afflicted by overwhelming poverty (2 in 5 people live on less than $1 a day) and extreme disease (over 1 in 4 people are HIV positive), children are often treated with no more respect or worth than a discarded candy wrapper. Children are sometimes found in a trash dumpster, a toilet pit, or alone in a forest. We seek to give them the opportunity to be more than just a statistic. We strive to give them the opportunity to just be kids.

Beautiful Gate Lesotho seeks to glorify God by giving these children their childhood while they wait for their forever families. 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. The children at Beautiful Gate Lesotho have lives that reflect those of any other child. They are given opportunities to go to school, play with their friends, and help out around their houses. They have the same physical and emotional needs that all children do. It does not matter whether they are orphaned or abandoned, they are still children, and their first and foremost identity is as a precious child made in the image of a loving, Heavenly Father.

2025 BGL Charity Tournament: Corporate & Social Clubs Unite for a Great Cause

The annual BGL Charity Tournament, held on 22nd& 23rd February 2025, brought together eight teams from both corporate and social clubs to compete for a good cause. With support from our generous sponsors, the event raised vital funds for vulnerable, abandoned and orphaned children living under our care, marking another successful chapter in our commitment to supporting Lesotho in the protection and welfare of children.

Held at Lesotho Agric College, the tournament featured an exciting 2 days of soccer, netball and volleyball, with teams showing both competitive spirit and good camaraderie. This year’s teams came from a diverse mix of corporate and social clubs, including Econet Telecom Lesotho Avani Hotels, First National Bank Lesotho, Castle XI Social Club, Nedbank Lesotho, Adient, NDSO & Maseru Club All Stars. All players showcased exceptional skills, but Econet Telecom Lesotho soccer team surprised everyone with an impressive comeback in the final round dethroning Avani Hotels from the championship.

We were proud to partner with our generous sponsors: Gracious Garments, Print-Corp, Office National, Victory Church, Lesotho Agric College, and Lesotho Football Association, whose contributions ensured the event’s success. Their support raised awareness for the plight of vulnerable children and we are incredibly grateful for their commitment to the community.Thanks to the generosity of participants and sponsors, the tournament raised over M28000 for Beautiful Gate children. These funds will go directly to the needs of Beautiful Gate center.

A huge thank you to all the teams, sponsors, volunteers, supporters and BGL staff who made this year’s BGL Charity Tournament a resounding success.
