Equitable access to micro finance and other services for the rural poor women to enhance their quality of life.
Till date, the overall experience of the Federation has been to organize women effectively and mobilize their collective strength to help enable the women to solve their own problems. We believe that organized women, who are aware of their rights and have control over assets, can enjoy greater gender equality and an increase in their quality of life.
