Empower a Girl: For Self-Reliance

Although many institutes across the global limit the students into the limitation of their course units in their ways of training; Kole Intellectual Forum on the hand, different in the ways they do their things, particularly on how the ways they train their students on to the diverse ways of "approaching life from another angle of economic viability". Which means they shift their training from the traditionally narrow focus on short-term financial profit and continuous material growth to a holistic, long-term perspective that values social equity, environmental health, and overall well-being. This approach redefines "viability" to include the sustained health of the communities and ecosystems that support the economy, not just the accumulation of capital. 

Key angles and concepts of this alternative approach include:

1. The Three Pillars of Sustainability

This perspective integrates economic viability with social and environmental sustainability, moving beyond the idea that economic performance is the sole measure of success. 

• Economic: Focuses on creating long-term, resilient financial systems that can adapt to change and operate without depleting essential resources.
• Environmental: Emphasizes operating within planetary boundaries, protecting natural capital (resources like clean water, forests, and biodiversity), and reducing pollution and waste.
• Social: Prioritizes social equity, health, quality of life, fair labor practices, and robust community support systems. 

2. Redefining "Value" and "Capital"

This angle challenges traditional economics by recognizing that value extends beyond financial assets. It includes: 

• Natural Capital: Acknowledging the fundamental role of natural resources in providing essential ecosystem services.
• Social Capital: Valuing the networks, trust, and shared values within a society that foster cooperation and resilience.
• Human Capital: Emphasizing the importance of health, education, and skills in a population as essential for a productive and adaptable workforce. 

3. Shift from Growth to Flourishing

Instead of focusing solely on maximizing Gross Domestic Product (GDP), which often ignores environmental and social costs (externalities), this approach aims for a "good collective life" or overall human flourishing. 

• Mindful Consumption: Individuals make conscious choices to buy less, choose quality over quantity, and support ethical businesses, which reduces demand for resource-intensive production.
• Circular Economy: This model focuses on designing products that can be made to be made again, reusing materials, and regenerating natural systems, rather than the traditional linear "take, make, dispose" model.

Having understood that: most the people within the human homestead live on earth without knowing much about available health services within them in the Government Health Facilities; Kole Intellectual Forum as part of its training to the students in Home Economics, they have to expose their students into this, so that: if they experience health problems, they know where to direct them to.

On that specific time and date, the y were direct to the nearby Health Facilities and the doctor in charge and the senior nurse had the opportunity to speak to them about available health services they are offering in their particular Health Facility and the other Facilities within their district of Kole, northern Uganda.

The health services they talked about include the followings:

• Preventive Care: Services aimed at preventing disease and injury, such as vaccinations, screenings, and lifestyle counseling.
• Diagnosis and Treatment: The identification and management of illnesses and conditions, often provided by doctors, specialists, and hospitals.
• Rehabilitation: Services that help patients recover from injury or illness, such as physical or occupational therapy.
• Mental Health Support: Care for psychological and emotional well-being.
• Palliative Care: Specialized medical care for people with serious illnesses, focused on providing relief from symptoms and stress.
• Emergency Medical Services (EMS): A critical component providing life-saving interventions in acute situations. 

At the end of it all, the students went back to the Institute with a lot of knowledge about the available health matters and of course be aware of where to direct their health matters.
