The Basel Mission was a Protestant missionary organization founded in 1815 in Basel, Switzerland. Its primary goal was to spread Christianity and promote education and social reform in various parts of the world, particularly in Africa and Asia. The mission played a significant role in establishing schools, churches, and medical facilities in the regions it served. The mission's work was closely associated with the Basel Missionary Society, which sent missionaries to countries like India, Ghana, and Togo. Over the years, the Basel Mission contributed to cultural exchanges and the development of local communities, emphasizing the importance of education and healthcare alongside spiritual teachings.
