The Federation is a private association dedicated to the cause of women, consumers, society and the environment. Its purpose is to help stay-at-home wives and homemakers understand their roles within society, and form a discriminating value system so that they can effectively unleash their potential and cultivate their respective strengths and capabilities to better run family affairs and guide family members along the path of success and happiness. The Federation believes that families are the founding units of our society and homemakers are leading actors for the progress of regional communities as well as that of the nation.
