Needs Assessment and Recommendations
Upon interacting with widows, we have identified several critical needs and challenges they face:
- Widows often experience pain, hurt, depression, and neglect after the loss of their spouses.
- They require access to volunteer doctors and counselors to address their physical and emotional health needs.
- Due to challenges in accessing their properties and finances, widows struggle to meet their financial obligations, including school fees for their children.
- Financial assistance is crucial to alleviate their financial burdens and empower them economically
- Many widows face a loss of hope and spiritual disconnection. Providing spiritual nourishment and guidance helps restore their faith and emotional well-being.
Some widows live in dire housing conditions, while others face land disputes with in-laws, leaving them
vulnerable and in need of legal intervention.
