Research & Publications

At Pillar Foundation International, we believe research must serve people. Our work analyzes the barriers that prevent equitable participation—especially among women and youth—and translates findings into accessible, educational tools. From hydroponics to digital literacy, and from gender equity to engineering, our research reflects a deep commitment to inclusion, empowerment, and sustainable transformation. Our publications are action tools that connect communities, civil society, and policy.
