Pillars
The following five pillars reflect the goals of the Genesis Foundation. Every project is designed with these five basic values in mind.
- Training and curriculum development: Transform not only the way that children learn, but also the way that teachers teach.
- Long term partnerships: The Genesis Foundation does not directly execute the programs. Instead, it provides support to various partner organizations in Colombia that have a strong stake and interest in the success of these ventures.
- Leveraging funds: Programs are supported not only by funds from the Genesis Foundation, but also through local, national, and international sources of funding.
- Influence on Public Policy: Information and innovations developed in the Genesis Foundation's programs are not kept secret. Information is shared among other organizations in an attempt to promote cooperation and overall improvement of public education policy.
- Replicable, measurable and sustainable: The Genesis Foundation develops projects with the goals of replicating them throughout the region, and in such a way that the partner organizations will eventually be able to sustain the programs independently.

Famous quotes containing the word pillars:
“But let my due feet never fail
To walk the studious cloister’s pale,
And love the high embowed roof,
With antic pillars massy proof,
And storied windows richly dight,
Casting a dim, religious light.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
“The spirit of truth and the spirit of freedom—these are the pillars of society.”
—Henrik Ibsen (1828–1906)
