An interactive reference guide to the Bahá'í Nine Year Plan — overview, core activities, institutions, statistics, and key messages
Challenge: The Bahá'í Nine Year Plan (2022–2031) spans complex themes — core activities, institutional frameworks, social action, and statistics — spread across multiple official documents. Community members and researchers needed a single, well-structured digital reference to navigate the Plan's scope.
Solution: A comprehensive, scroll-driven reference site covering all major dimensions of the Nine Year Plan. Built entirely in HTML, CSS, and vanilla JavaScript, it presents dense material in a readable format with animated statistics, section navigation, and fade-in cards — making the Plan's scope tangible and explorable.
Explains the Nine Year Plan's purpose, the three protagonists (Individual, Community, Institutions), and its place in the 25-year arc ending at Riḍván 2046.
Timeline of the 25-year period (1996–2021) that preceded the Plan — cluster development, global campaigns, and the growth of the institute process.
Study circles, children's classes, junior youth groups, and devotional gatherings — each explained with purpose and current global scale, in a 2×2 grid layout.
Covers the Administrative Order structure — Houses of Justice, National/Local Spiritual Assemblies, Continental Boards of Counsellors, and Auxiliary Boards.
Documents the growth of Bahá'í development projects (250 → 1,500), BIDO, Houses of Worship, and participation in public discourse.
