Follow up on the students: Kole Intellectual Forum (KIFA)
It has always been the custom of Kole Intellectual Forum to endeavor to follow-up on their students to find out how they are progressing after graduating them from their Institute of Home Economics.
This has helped the organization to establish the truth about the outcome of the project; whether they are moving on in a right direction or there are some areas that need to be addressed. Sincerely speaking, this approach is benefitting both the organization and the upcoming beneficiaries.
The lady in the background is one of the beneficiaries of the academic year 2023, at present married while at the same time conducting her business steadily.
From her own words, she appreciated both Kole Intellectual Forum and donors on the platform of GlobalGiving for supporting them during their time and also continued to them never to give up but to continue with the spirit to her others those are in need.

Parental Involvement is Key to Student Success
Kole Intellectual Forum has introduced a system at their Institute of Home Economics that: a parent to every student is given a 3 slots to visit his or her child at school very term; this commitment was arrived at after at the Parents, Teachers and students general meeting that was held on the July 31, 2025 at their Institute.
The meeting observed that, the role of parental involvement in a child's education, discussing its impact on academic achievement, behavior, and overall success is very crucial. That is when they agreed that, every parent has the right to visit his/her child three times a term to find any challenge the child may be encountering into.
Just for one term since then, the result has shown out that students achieve more in school when their parents are involved in their education; revealing that, the critical role moms and dads at school can play in a child's education.
