Introducing Beautiful Dream Society’s Children’s Village Project
We need your help to build permanent homes for orphans and vulnerable children.
For over 10 years, BeautifulDream Society has been fighting human trafficking in the country of Lesotho and addressing the heartbreaking orphan problem. So far, we have helped nearly 200 victims of human trafficking and child victims of sexual assault in Lesotho, as well as 57 victims in Oklahoma.
Lesotho has around 300,000 orphaned children due to AIDS epidemic, creating a higher risk for human trafficking. Since 2013 we have given full time foster care to 26 children by providing them with medical, relational, and educational needs while also giving them a safe, loving environment with caring house mothers.
BDS has accomplished much with little since we have not owned our own buildings. Thankfully, in 2021 the government of Lesotho in partnership with the International Organization of Migration and the Government of Japan provided a property where our Anti-Trafficking Shelter can operate rent free for the next 10 years! Now we need to secure buildings for our Children’s Homes.
Below are the 5 phases within our plan to build this complex:
- Phase 1 ($115,000): site preparation to include grading, retaining wall, underground plumbing/electrical conduit, water well, fence, and storage building
- Phase 2 ($456,000): four homes to accommodate four families with eight children in each family (32 total children)
- Phase 3 ($648,000): 300 seat Victory Church auditorium/event space and offices for church and community events
- Phase 4 ($342,000): three homes for income generating guest house, staff home and missionary lodging
- Phase 5 ($452,000): five-room community medical clinic and offices
Make An Impact
The Covid-19 world pandemic and the ensuing economic crisis have hit Lesotho very hard resulting in an already desperate situation that has worsened. Lesotho has the 2nd highest per capita HIV infection for any country in the world contributing to a crisis of orphans, and now the 6th highest murder rate worldwide. Our landlord’s property in the same complex as BDS and Victory Church Lesotho was recently robbed by three armed men. BDS cares for vulnerable victims of crime, and we must be able to keep our children, staff, and missionaries safe and secure.
It’s time to build, and we need your help! We need partners and sponsors who can help with each step of the project. Help us make a difference in these children’s lives.
