BHSBAID
Based on a Shared Vision
Baptist High School Benin Alumni in Diaspora (BHSBAID) was founded on a shared vision: to reconnect old students of Baptist High School Benin living across the globe and to give back to the institution that shaped our early academic and moral foundation. What began as a simple conversation became a purpose-driven movement, officially launched in 2020 following a series of impactful meetings and engagements with alumni from North America, the UK, and Europe.
Our mission was born out of a desire to create a supportive, forward-thinking platform where alumni abroad could fellowship, network, and collectively contribute to the continued growth of Baptist High School Benin. Recognizing the need to align with legal frameworks and regional expectations, our members voted unanimously to establish an independent body—BHSBAID—dedicated to academic excellence, institutional support, and global impact.
Since our official inauguration on August 2nd, 2020, we have built a strong and committed network of alumni united by our school’s timeless motto: “Education for Selfless Service.” Today, BHSBAID stands on the following pillars:
Fostering a global fellowship among Baptist High School Benin alumni in the diaspora.
Supporting the academic goals and institutional vision of our alma mater.
Leveraging professional expertise of members to drive educational advancement.
Providing resources and scholarships that empower current students to compete on a global scale.
Promoting social responsibility and civic engagement, ensuring that our legacy continues through service.
Our Vision
We envision a thriving global network of Baptist High School alumni, united in our pursuit of excellence, mutual support, and collective progress. Through our efforts, we aim to make a positive impact on our alma mater, communities and inspire future generations.
Our Mission
BHSBAID aims to foster a sense of community, promote cultural heritage, and support the growth and development of our alma mater. We strive to create opportunities for networking, mentorship, and collaboration among members.
