The religious leaders and elders of the society can play a very important role in reducing the plight of widows. They can do this by using their forum and the media to educate the communities and the societies at large on the needs of widows. . The counselors should help encourage widows to join the widows' organization which is aimed at bringing widows together. This will also solve the need for belongingness and love. . The counselor can help the widows become self-actualized by giving psychological talks.en_US
