BASED-UK
We are an independent charity...
... registered with the UK Charity Commission, number 1029888. BASED-UK was established in 1993. We are linked with the Baha'i community and its institutions, but as a separate organisation we can receive funding from anywhere. The projects we support aim to use the Baha'i teachings to improve society for the benefit of all people. For example, believing that education for all can enable humanity to progress. Our work aligns with the UN's Sustainable Development Goals.
