Empower a Girl: For Self-Reliance

The plan fifth graduation ceremony, 2024

In one point of definition: Graduation is considered an important milestone that marks the end of a chapter and the beginning of a new one in a student's life. It is a time to celebrate the hard work, dedication, and sacrifice that went into earning a qualification. Graduation is also a chance to recognize the achievement with friends and family.

However according to Kole Intellectual Forum who is planning its fifth graduation ceremony for their students for this academic year 2024 on or around November 30, 2024; they observe that: Graduation is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that provides a defining moment to remember; it's a time to celebrate the achievement with friends and family; is a symbol of change, progression, and moving on to new adventures; is a proof that a student knows how to do the work and see things through to the end; a reminder of potential; and, they are also known as commencements, congregations, convocations, or invocations.

To Kole Intellectual Forum, this achievement is done every year and this year 2024 will be their fifth graduation ceremony.

Female youth: Most needed health services

Plan to provide information on the most needed health services to the female youth

Kole Intellectual Forum is planning to pass out their students of Home Economics for the academic year 2024 in around November; but first they could do that: the organization is hiring experts from various health facilities around area of operation to give the girls detail information about the most needed health services for them; and, these identified are:

• Sexual and reproductive health: Information and access to contraception, emergency contraception, menstruation, HIV and STI testing and treatment, pregnancy testing and services, and post-abortion care
• Counseling: Counseling for sexual abuse, relationship counseling, and counseling and psycho-social support relating to individual issues that undermine sexual health and well-being
• Gender-based violence and harmful practices counseling: Counseling and referral for gender-based violence and harmful practices
• Mental health: Mental health problems may first become apparent during adolescence
• Protection from female genital mutilation (FGM): Protection from FGM, which has a harmful effect on sexual health and is an assault on rights

This idea has come on board because Kole Intellectual Forum has realized that: Adolescents face specific barriers in accessing health information and services, including restrictive laws and policies, parental or partner control, limited knowledge, distance, cost, lack of confidentiality, and provider bias.
