The interventions of the Foundation are backed by research. Our research team has also carried out non-programme based research.

Our initiatives need to be understood in terms of what works and what does not, identifying the factors that have influenced them and focusing on the insights which they throw up. Therefore, the objective of research has been – one, to understand whether our efforts on the ground are bringing about the desired change or not, and why, and two, how the efforts of others have made a difference.

We embed documentation resource in every intervention, engage field resources as required on project basis, outsource research as felt necessary and partner with other organizations for research.
