Mentorship program for students at Kole Intellectual Forum to develop their skills and knowledge to face future challenges
For about 10 years, Kole Intellectual Forum (KIFA) has designed a mentorship program that is meant to target the desires of their students as they wish to see them being empowered to face the serious challenges in life in future.
Basically, the program is aimed at:
- Targeted Skill and Knowledge Transfer: with this they (the organization) 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.

Approaching the real through exposure
By George Obua | Project Leader
Approaching the real through exposure
Exposing students into the real has always been the task of Kole Intellectual Forum.
The organization is innovatively trying to conduct a research work that gives a full detail of exposure to their students. One important innovative critical thinking they've introduced to their students are to make them fully prepare for the life after the schools. Something which may not be so common to other schools.
It is indeed, about teaching students to deal with real-world education that involves hands-on learning experiences, focusing on problem-solving, and giving them opportunities to engage with many mentorships as well as meeting with some of the authentic audiences.
Above all, making teachers to explain to their students how an academic subject can connect to real-world experiences and their future lives.
