Abstract

Iran became affiliated with the International Federation of Red cross and founded its Lion and Sun Society in 1923. Afterwards this society gradually expanded and established its branches in Tehran and other cities of Iran. One of these branches was opened in Isfahan in 1930. Lion and Sun Society of Isfahan had significant effects on Isfahan society. Therefore, this study by employing the archival documents and historical sources with descriptive- analytical approach tries to answer this question: How did Red Lion and Sun Society of Isfahan effect on the lives of orphans and underprivileged children in Isfahan under the reign of Reza shah? The outcomes of the study indicate that the foundation and performance of Isfahan Lion and Sun Society during Pahlavi I period could be influential in the future of orphans and underprivileged children and even some middle-class children in Isfahan society by providing shelters and services for them.
