About

The history of Islamic culture and the general human experience have taught us that the necessary cultural and social foundations for the prosperity of the society must first established. The very first step in this direction is to provide public education for every individual of the society and enhance the level of higher education in order to develop a greater intellectual elite. Unfortunately, the present state of human society in general, is such that not everybody enjoys the opportunity to acquire such education. There are numerous people in the lower social classes who, despite their great talents and capabilities bestowed upon them by almighty God and due to the hardships and deprivations that life has imposed on them, are deprived of the opportunity to properly develop and demonstrate their God-given potentials. Motivation The main objective of the “Beh-Afarin-e Farda” institute is to identify the highly talented and capable individuals of the Low-income and deprived strata of the society and assist them to develop their capabilities through resolving their cultural, social and even family problems; and thus create the best possible future for this section of the Islamic society of Iran. Although solving financial problems of the Low-income and povetry-stricken families is by itself a meritorious and virtous act, researchers have shown that generally these families, after receiving financial aids, either do not use them in proper manner or become dependent on them. Therefore, they lose their incentive to become self-sufficient an financially independent. On this basis, the goal of the founders of this institute is to develop the talents and potentials of the talented poor students, offer various means for self-sufficiency and self-employment for the families of the member students, and guide them towards financial independence and non-reliance upon the aids provided by this institute.
