Empower a Girl: For Self-Reliance

Deriving knowledge about Home Management from different groups of people

In order to come up with a proper skilling of the students at Kole Intellectual Forum with the knowledge of Home management under the course unit of Home Economics though at their Institute of Home Economics, since it involves various tasks, from daily routines and cleaning to budgeting and home maintenance; Kole is drawing knowledge from also separate groups differently at one point and also at the same time combining them at certain point so as it gives one group liberty to exhaustively discuss it all to the dot and the other also do the same before bringing them together for a real debate.

From the single sex, there was a male youth group conference that was organized by Kole Intellectual Forum to derive points on how homestead can be managed properly and the following points were reached at: those are expected to be of use to the proper management of any given any homestead. They suggested that, the home managers should:

• Create a System:  that is, to develop a system for organizing all aspects of their home, including cleaning, laundry, meal planning, and budgeting. 
•  Set Goals that define specific goals for his/her home management, such as organizing things in a room or improving a certain area. 
• Prioritize Tasks by identifying daily, weekly, and monthly chores and prioritize them based on importance and urgency. 
• Utilize Lists: also by using lists for everything, including grocery shopping, to-do lists, and task assignments. 

Contributions of elders to support Kole Intellectual Forum’s (KIFA’s) Activities

Having learnt about the elders’ contributions towards societal development in numerous ways, including preserving cultural heritage, mediating conflicts, mentoring younger generations, and sharing their wisdom and experiences; including promoting community well-being and economic development; Kole Intellectual Forum, a Community Based Organization that is located at Kole District, Northern Uganda, has organized a team of elders from their areas of operation to see on how they can work together with them to develop their community

To them (team of Kole Intellectual Forum), they believe that: elders are the keepers of cultural knowledge, traditions, and values, and ensuring that, they transmission it to the future generations by sharing them in terms of stories, folklore, and oral traditions that connect the past to the present.
