As a women-led organisation, Bamporeze is focused on promoting women’s sense of self-worth, their ability to determine their own choices, and their right to influence social change for themselves and others. Women empowerment involves the autonomy of women and the improvement of their political, social, economic and health status across the board, it is essential for the attainment of the  sustainable development.

Bamporeze has embraced the Self Help Group approach (SHGA), a right based approach which views poverty as the prime denial of rights and poverty alleviation as a process of reclaiming one’s rights. This approach targets vulnerable women, poorest of the poor women in the communities, as it puts equal emphasis on the goals of economic, social and political empowerment.
