Babikr Bedri was a Mahdist warrior who later became a social activist and laid the foundations for women's education in the Sudan. (His name is variously transcribed in Latin letters as "Babiker Badri", and so on.) Bedri began with a small school for his own daughters. Over time the school moved to the Sudanese capital and formed the basis for today's al-Afhad University for Women.
