Beautiful Gate Orphanage

Matthew will share his personal experience with the Beautiful Gate Orphanage. He will also describe the plight of the older orphans in this part of Africa — and describe the PEKA Project.

The PEKA project is planning to provide a home and education for these young people, thus preparing the children to graduate with skills and confidence.

There may be an opportunity for Rotarians in several clubs to play a significant role in this emerging and moving story.

Beautiful Gate is registered with the Government of Lesotho as a Society not for Gain (Reg. # 2003/68) and are legally accountable to the board of Beautiful Gate Lesotho made up of Basotho and International members. The organisation was started in 2007 and continues to grow.
