III Pillars

In moments of uncertainty and adversity, such as during global crises, pandemics, wars, and, yes, genocide, we are human, so it is natural for our Mission and Vision to become blurred due to the world we live in.

TOMA BAṜRE EDUCATION's 3 Pillars ensure that we stay connected to the core of who we serve, even during challenging times. They enable us to communicate our purpose, thoughts, and values in a way that reflects the needs of our global community. They are also powerful approaches to expressing emotions, communicating ideas, and, more importantly, acknowledging the human experience.
