Empower a Girl: For Self-Reliance

An aerobic exercise: Introduced to improve Health

For purposes of training students of Kole Intellectual Forum Institute of Home Economics to have a real healthy families in future; while at the same time also engaging those who have families under the project of:  Promoting Real Healthy Families: Home Economics; the framers of the course of the Institute had to include an aerobic exercise as one of the extra curriculum course units.

This unit (aerobic) is about any physical activity that uses large muscle groups in a rhythmic and repetitive manner, for a period of time, and by participating in it, it makes the heart to beat faster and increases the body's use of oxygen. The term "aerobic" means "with oxygen," referring to how the body uses oxygen to generate energy (ATP) to fuel the activity. Common examples include brisk walking, jogging, cycling, swimming, and aerobic dancing.

The key reasons for the Institute to introduce the element of an aerobic exercise; is because the studies have shown out the act can offer a wide range of significant health benefits for both the body and mind; and ideally, they are known to have cause:

• Improved Cardiovascular Health that strengthens the heart muscle, making it more efficient at pumping blood, which improves overall circulation and helps keep arteries clear.
• Reduced Disease Risk. Through regular participation, significantly lowers the risk of developing chronic conditions such as heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, obesity, and certain types of cancer.
• Weight Management Aerobic exercise burns calories and fat, which is essential for losing weight or maintaining a healthy body weight when combined with a healthy diet.
• Stronger Bones and Muscles Weight-bearing aerobic activities (like walking or running) improve bone density and strengthen muscles, reducing the risk of osteoporosis and falls in older adults.
• Enhanced Endurance and Stamina It is too, meant to increase their capacity to use oxygen efficiently, allowing them to perform daily tasks with less fatigue and have more energy for leisure and recreational activities.
• Improved Lung Function. An aerobic makes lungs work harder during exercise, which increases their capacity and efficiency in supplying oxygen to the blood. 

A weekly special mentorship program: KIFA

Yearly, Kole Intellectual Forum (KIFA) designed a weekly special mentorship program that targets the needs of their students as they plan to pass them out (Graduate). This program is primarily based on:

• Targeted Skill and Knowledge Transfer: with this they focus on developing skills and transferring specific, often niche, knowledge relevant to home economics, role, or context to which it can be applied after study.
• Addressing the Needs of Underrepresented Groups (the had been out of school students): the team engage on promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion by providing tailored support and guidance to those students who may face unique challenges due to their background or gender. They help increase their visibility and opportunities
• Structured Support for At-Risk Students: with this program too, the guidance have to  target at-risk students’ unstable backgrounds, and they offer for them a structured academic, social, and emotional support to improve their grades, attendance, behavior, and overall well-being.
• Specific Goal Achievement: unlike other special programs, the program is meant to help participants define and achieve in designing their SMART goals (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-sensitive) goals that are tied to the program's specific objectives.
• Creation of a Safe and Trusting Environment: the specialized program is created in a structured, confidential, and safe space where mentees feel comfortable discussing specific concerns, challenges, and aspirations without fear of repercussion, which is especially important for sensitive topics.

In essence,these special mentorship programs designed by Kole Intellectual Forum is meant to offer a strategic, intentional, and customized approach to personal and professional development that maximizes positive outcomes for both the students and the supporting organization.
