Empower a Girl: For Self-Reliance

Kole Intellectual Forum (KIFA): Encouraging Students’ Potentials

Kole Intellectual Forum at the Institute of Knowledge goes beyond its endeavors not to train the girls only but also to explore into their potentials; that is, giving their students a moment to experience, think, investigate, probe, inquire, collect information, question, test, make inferences about relationships and problem solving. They promote all sort of "academic play", a chance to muck-about in learning. In that, when you visit our Institute of Knowledge, you'll see prospective students checking out the library, the dorms, and athletic facilities, learning how to Instruct, reading, palying, singing, dancing, and doing all sort of things to display their talents. This is where the team of Intellectuals would be studing their students’ potentials and try to build on it. 

It is not to the surprise that: some of their students of 2023 who exhibited their potential or ability to do the Instructional work are being enouraged to come back at the Institute to do further training with the interest to be deploying them at the intended new branches of the Institute that will be opened at the later time.

The progress report: Kole Intellectual Forum (KIFA) since 2016

Although Kole Intellectual Forum has so far been a parmanent partner with GlobalGiving for the last six years; that is, since 2018, the organization from its time of formation to date has lived for the last 8 years; that is since 2016.

When we talked to the founder member who also double as one of the project leaders - Mr. George Obua; he noted that: the project started as a small community based organization by 5 members in 2016 and progressively succeeded to go through GlobalGiving Accelerator in 2018 after the second attempt to launch their campaign on that platform. The success came after duplicating the previous project although we cannot as well deny the fact that to certain extent the organization is also faced with a number of challenges. 

Since then, the project has moved from Initial Process, Structured Process and Standards, Organizational Standards and Institutional Process, Managed Process, and Optimizing Process. In other words, we are so much grateful to report that: our project, with the support from donors on the platform of GlobalGiving, it has reached the stage of maturity as it is indicated above and below.
