Our Story

 

Together We are Stronger

Bountiful Hope Foundation (BHF) has been working in Lesotho since 2005. It started as a non-profit whose mission was to raise funds to pay for the tuition for orphans in secondary or vocational school. Since then it has evolved into also providing for college tuition and economic development projects for graduated orphans. In 2017, another non-profit, American Friends of Semonkong Children’s Centre (AFSCC), was formed in order to support the Semonkong Children’s Centre - an orphanage for children and adolescents in dire need of assistance. In 2020, BHF and AFSCC joined forces and combined Boards in order to pool our talents to make a greater impact in Lesotho. Both organizations have a committed heart for the orphans and vulnerable people of Lesotho and we are excited to work together. The newly formed Board of Directors is comprised of individuals from both BHF and AFSCC and, going forward, the new organization will keep the name Bountiful Hope Foundation.
