Brief History of BACI
Responding to these increasing needs of additional services to the rapidly growing Burmese refugee population in Central Indiana, with a strong conviction of the founding leaders of the need for investing in people and education, the Burmese American Community Institute (BACI) was established as a result of several years of consultations and deliberation with community leaders and stakeholders, with the following vision and mission:
Name: Burmese American Community Institute Inc.
Motto: Advocating – Connecting – Educating – Serving
Vision: Education for all, a stronger community
Mission: To build a thriving, self-sufficient, and sustainable, integrated Burmese Community through advocacy, education, and employment.
Our Core Value: As an ethnically and linguistically diverse group, BACI emphasizes on the inclusiveness and openness across the lines of different ethnic groups from Burma in its organizational development, and providing culturally and linguistically appropriate services to its clients.
