PowerWoman International works with the church, community elders and leaders as well as the chief, to re integrate the ostracized widow back into her community.

The widow is attached to the nearest counseling center or church or a community organized group, and she goes through a series of counseling sessions to begin the healing process; forgiveness, acceptance, self-love and self worth. The group counseling gives the widow a safe place and fulfills a basic human need “to belong”. The counseling works at restoring the widows balanced mindset to enable her to be efficient at her economic activities as well as look after her children.
