Akwii Aidha, 65, lost her husband unexpectedly in 2022. Tensions quickly arose when her older daughter moved into the family home with her own children.
Grandmother insisted on a public school, despite financial constraints caused by the crisis, while her daughter chose a private school. They would quickly escalate into a conflict in which the daughter threatened violence with a stick.
Akwii turned to our paralegal Aidha for support and guidance. Together, they engaged in a meaningful conversation with her daughter, discussing the practicality of expecting Akwii to finance private schooling without sufficient resources.
Akwii’s daughter agreed to enroll her children in a government school. However, a new challenge emerged as she eloped with a man, leaving the children in Akwii’s care. Nonetheless, Akwii and her daughter quickly reconciled. Meaningful dialogue and intervention remain huge factors in the community development efforts that WORUDET is involved in, and committed to.
Our paralegal not only resolved the pressing conflict but also provided information that stabilized attitudes in the home, a critical step in ensuring family relationships.
