Badi Foundation

What Badi Foundation does

Badi Foundation is a non-profit charitable organization established in 1990 in Macao SAR, China, through an initial endowment honouring Badi'u'llah Farid and Shidrokh Amirkia Bagha. Its mission, drawn from Baha'i-inspired teachings, is to contribute to the spiritual and material progress of Macao and (historically) China through educational programming that integrates moral and intellectual development. The foundation operates four core programmes: School of the Nations (its wholly-owned K-12 educational institution in Taipa serving 600-700+ students); the Moral Empowerment through Language Programme (a participatory character and language curriculum for junior youth aged 11-15, delivered in partnership with Macao schools and universities and reaching over 4,800 participants since 2007); the Hidden Gems Early Childhood Education Programme (an award-winning three-year curriculum for ages 3-6 covering character development, science, and math, licensed through partner educational organizations in China, India, Mongolia, Nepal, Thailand, and other countries); and the Centre for Continuing Education (community-facing lifelong learning at the School of the Nations campus). Programmes are funded by donations from individuals, companies, and grant-making organizations, processed through Tai Fung Bank in Macao, with operations concentrated on Macao SAR following the 2018 closure of its Beijing Representative Office and exit from direct mainland China activity.
