>> What we've done

Beautiful Kidz Namibia was part of Beautiful Gate Ministries International.  This ministry to children in need was established in 1994 by a Dutch couple, Toby & Aukje Brouwer. They experienced God's heart for children in need and made it their mission to establish an organisation that focused on improving the quality of life of children in need and their families; and show the love of Jesus Christ through practical assistance. The Brouwers and many other Beautiful Gate staff members were part of Youth With A Mission, but decided to move away from YWAM in November 2007.

Beautiful Kidz Namibia was established in July 2003 by Brian and Pam Kinghorn. They felt led by the Lord to get involved in meeting the growing needs of the HIV/AIDS orphans in Namibia.  Research revealed that Namibia has a desperate need for Day Care centres that will give assistance to and address the multiple needs of care givers, orphans and other vulnerable children. Namibia (with its small population of 2 million) already has over 120,000 orphans.  

Beautiful Kidz Namibia is registered as a Welfare organisation since February 2003.  

Brian and Pam Kinghorn both received training in the field of HIV/Aids and psycho social training for Orphans and vulnerable children. Pam did her Trainer of Trainers Course in Home Based Care with Catholic Aids Action and later both Brian and Pam did a training course in the Psycho/social needs of orphans with the same organisation. 

The care centre in Katutura opened officially on September 27th 2003 in a separate part of a business building.  A contract was offered for a rental free use of the premises for a period of three years where after Beautiful Kidz has a first option to purchase.

Beautiful Kidz Namibia was officially registered with the department of Welfare and Health in Namibia and with the Ministry of Women and Child Affairs during March 2003.
