Bonyad

Hey kiddo, have you ever heard of a bonyad? It's a really important thing in Iran. Let's learn more about it together.

So, imagine you have a piggy bank where you save your money. You keep putting coins and bills in there until you have a lot of money saved up. Well, in Iran, a bonyad is like a piggy bank but for a whole bunch of people.

A bonyad is a non-profit organization that was created to help people who need it. They collect money and other resources like land or businesses to try to improve the lives of people in Iran.

There are many different kinds of bonyads. Some of them focus on things like healthcare or education. Others might help provide food or shelter for people who don't have enough. Basically, whatever people need the most, that's what the bonyad tries to help with.

Now, because a bonyad is a non-profit organization, that means they don't make money to give to their members like a regular business would. Instead, the money and resources they collect are used to help people in the community.

In Iran, bonyads are a really important part of society. People rely on them to help when times are tough. The government also works closely with bonyads to make sure they can provide the most help possible.

So, there you have it! Bonyads are like piggy banks that help lots of people together. They use the money and resources they collect to make life better for others in the community.
