She stated that it was not easy but they managed to pull it off. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The centre was established in 1994 as an orphanage home but transitioned into a community centre in 2014. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe realised that the number of children was growing and we decided to close it and we took some of the children to their families. Others were adopted, while others were fostered by the youth care workers. There were 40 of them,\u201d said Keola.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"YouTube\" data-pos=\"middle\" id=\"embed_76cde7e4\"><iframe allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/t-mcnyElLQA?si=MQc_JNqin0H0gpNQ\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since then, they introduced various programmes for the community, including youth development. They also assist learners with their homework. \u201cOur aim was to create a safe space and thriving community. We want people to know that Beautiful Gate is here to develop the community. It is open for everyone who needs help,\u201d she said, adding that it is a place where children get love and a sense of belonging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keola said they also have extra-mural activities for the children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Images\" data-pos=\"middle\" id=\"embed_664a2c43\">\n<div class=\"slide\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-smallsrc=\"https:\/\/cdn.24.co.za\/files\/Cms\/General\/d\/12291\/854d07d67811490a9ac622c511170364.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/cityvision\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/14340a6a1f6e4e8ebbd11088189cde5d.jpg\" title=\"Some of the founders of Beautiful Gate on the stage. \"><p><\/p>\n<div class=\"caption\">Some of the founders of Beautiful Gate on the stage. <\/div>\n<div class=\"img_accreditation\"><span class=\"source\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><span class=\"photographer\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Ward 35 councillor Mboniswa Chitha said he is happy to see the NPO celebrating such a milestone. He said while its establishment wasn\u2019t easy, they had to fight for it to accommodate everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAt the time it was established, I was the Sanco chair in Lower Crossroads. In the beginning, it was formed for certain people in the community, not for all of us. We fought for it to accommodate everyone. But to be here today celebrating its existence is exciting for me and I wish it to continue serving our people,\u201d said Chitha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Parent Xoliswa Sobantu reiterated Keola\u2019s remarks that Beautiful Gate was a safe space for children. \u201cMy children always come here after school. It\u2019s either to do their homework or to play. I don\u2019t have to worry about looking for my children,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hundreds of people gathered at Beautiful Gate South Africa in Lower
