This publication is about the modest efforts of the Bahá’í community working with collaborators from all walks of life, irrespective of background or belief, to contribute to the social and economic well-being of their societies. More broadly defined as social action, such endeavors are motivated by a desire to serve humanity and contribute to constructive social change. Together they form part of an ongoing process of learning from the local to the global level about applying spiritual principles such as the oneness of humankind and justice, along with knowledge accumulated in different fields of human endeavor, to social and material reality. We hope this booklet provides a vivid illustration of how Bahá’í social and economic development is being carried out in practice.
