The women individual leaders and self-help groups jointly form local networks and raise funds in monetary or material form to start local IGA’s to which they become immediate beneficiaries in the struggle against poverty, while raising families living standards and providing women with leadership and status in involvement with local and national agenda. The NMCK has also brought women together within local communities who then partner with men through religious leaders, towards positive policy change and implementation, community development and lifestyle enhancement. 

The strength of her NMCK network also lies in that it does not take any membership fee from members, but localizes contributions at grass root levels, bringing women, youth and other citizens together through formation as community based organizations and self-help groups, leaders and individuals together to address local needs and interests including poverty reduction issues and start local income generating activities where the contributors to the IGA with support from Nazlin Umar, elect and form leaders and their committees and become immediate beneficiaries thus reducing poverty levels at the grassroots, improving family living standards, empowering the very grassroots with information, tools and access to other partners, initiatives and government programmers and hospitals, reducing crime amongst the youth as it provides an income, enhances inter-tribal affiliations, harmony and fusion and links them with representation into and beneficiaries of the local CDF,  LATF and other government initiatives whilst creating formidable and powerful grassroots networks throughout the republic.
