Widows in developing countries are amongst the most vulnerable and at-risk; and they go through a lot of challenges ranging from cultural issues, socio- economic, and psychological difficulties which exacerbate their vulnerability and risks. A number are disinherited, forced into sex and marriage. For such widows to survive and overcome such challenges, they have to be resilient and rise above the challenges, risks and vulnerabilities. Available evidence suggests that targeted project advocacy may not only empower vulnerable and at risk individuals but may also make them resilient. Few studies have established these relationships. The objective of this study was to determine the influence of project advocacy strategy on resilience of widows in Rarieda Sub-County in Kenya. The design of the study was cross-sectional. The target population was 290 composed of project advocacy officers, social services officers, women group leaders and group members. A sample size of 165 was computed using Krejcie Morgan table of estimation. Simple stratified random sampling was used. Data was collected using a questionnaire. Descriptive and inferential data were analysed using SPSS computer package. Descriptive statistics included frequencies, means and standard deviations while inferential statistics included correlation and regression analyses. There was strong correlation between project advocacy strategy and resilience of windows. It is recommended that targeted advocacy strategies should be structured and integrated in community projects supporting widows.
