Community, students and team of KIFA: Decide
KIFA: that is, Kole Intellectual Forum in its usual way of running their Community Based Organization; the promoters in their approach to strengthen the capacity of the program they always developed; they ensure they bring before the community what they intend to implement (the proposed program) for debate; before they would go ahead to implement it.
In the same way, in the process of implementation, they also ensure that: they inform the community of the implementation processes. In case of challenges, they are also informed and they make the corrections and adjustments together.
As a matter of fact, this approach has helped the organization to move on with the community they are working with successfully with little or nearly no problem. And the game has always been simple: either the community are called at the organizational offices or the team of the organization move to the community in search of data, corrections and adjustments.

Giving proof KIFA activities to District Authorities
Given that, Kole District is that authority that has been mandating Kole Intellectual Forum to operate within its area of jurisdiction; according to Uganda’s Non Governmental Organizations’ Act of 2006 - that act calls for everyone who intends to operation any sort of nonprofit organization to first seek for authority from the relevant Government officials. This is exactly what Kole Intellectual Forum did by writing its constitution telling the authority of Kole District what they would be doing and the organization was permitted to operate in Kole District since 2016; although, for the purposes of check and balances the nonprofit organizations under that same act are again to renew their licenses every year; a task that Kole Intellectual Forum is daring to closely.
Giving an authority is one thing, but implementing what you are being told to do is another story. In order to combine the two; Kole Intellectual Forum is to its commitment to see that their members show to the authority (Governmental what they had been granted the permission to do. On Monday 10 July 2023, the team of Kole Intellectual Forum too their students to the officials of Kole District for them to witness what the organization is doing.

Cultivating patriotism in the hearts of new generation
In the ancient of patriotism adapted by Kole Intellectual Forum and being cultivated in the hearts of their new and lovely daughters at the Institute of Home Economics; is that, they believe that: patriotism means love and devotion for one's country and to them, these are being expresses in many ways that it includes thoughts, words, and actions.
At that particular Institute, the Instructors help their students in showing up their patriotism by becoming involved in making age-appropriate changes in their country and Institute by volunteering to clean up a their local health centers, showing love to their fellow students, cleaning their Institute and raising and giving respect to their country’s national flag
They (those at Kole Intellectual Forum) considered patriotism to be very important and they are trying to build in the student's hearts so that they can act as responsible citizens; with expectations that: they can make sense of attachment to their country.
