WHO WE ARE
The Tadao Takahashi Institute was conceived from the ideas and conversations of the Takahashi siblings, Laura and Tadao, with friends, motivated by the desire to contribute to reducing social inequality in Brazil and confident that education transforms society.
The institute is formed by a group of people who wish to give back to Brazilian society some of their experience and knowledge. Our goal is to support the educational development of children and young people in our communities, especially the most disadvantaged.
Tadao conceived the institute with brilliance and creativity, being a fundamental piece in the formation of this association, which we named the Tadao Takahashi Institute - ITT.
