Promoting Real Healthy Families: Home Economics

Building at better living Environment - KIFA
It has always been to the interest of Kole Intellectual Forum to create a community with a more supportive environment for their students and families to live at. They (the team of the organization) are doing this, by helping the needy as they send their students to go and help those in the community in various ways; among them is that, they pray with them, visit them, collect water for them, clean their houses, and share with them the stories of the present, past and the expected future.

This kind of approach has not only increase the visibility of the organization at the local community, but has also exposed them at district level as well as it has also given the organization the data to report to their donors on the platform of GlobalGiving.

• Addressing the Needs of Underrepresented Groups (the had been out of school students): the team engage on promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion by providing tailored support and guidance to those students who may face unique challenges due to their background or gender. They help increase their visibility and opportunities
• Structured Support for At-Risk Students: with this program too, the guidance have to  target at-risk students’ unstable backgrounds, and they offer for them a structured academic, social, and emotional support to improve their grades, attendance, behavior, and overall well-being.
