To meet the environmental challenges of today and tomorrow according to Kole Intellectual Forum’s aim to empower out of school girl child to fight for their rights in Uganda; through, one of their course unit (Child Development) at Home Economics in their institute; the organization has intensively focused on the study of Environmental science of 11 teams of 400 staff of the Wageninen University (2019) that each focused on a practical, efficient and cost effective environmental outcome.
The area they (the teams of the University) executed and thoroughly studied by the team of Kole Intellectual Forum purposely to use the materials to empower their girl at the Institue, the study include: flora and fauna, soil, water, landscape and spatial planning, climate, forestry, recreation and governance, vegetation, land cover and land use, the use of geo information and remote sensing, and environmental risk assessment.
Although, the team of Kole Intellectual Forum intends to implement all of those ideas; it is unfortunate that all of them cannot be implemented at once; to begin with, the instute has started by exposing their to a number of those areas of concern; for instance, on Monday of the 3rd May 2021, the team of the Institue took the students to the Nusery bed of various spices of seedlings of trees for viewing and thereafter they intend to ask the stundents to do the same at the Institute and in their different places of lives as they would be fully prepare for future. That is, to be able to face the the environmental challenges.
The stundents on the other hand well prepared to do a lot within this 3rd term of their course May to August 2021; and, so far they have already hipped and planted about 500 hips of sweet potatoes and they are planning to re-afforest the area that are near their institute.

We are grateful to acknowledge that: “Kole Intellectual Forum radical thinking has resulted in ground-breaking revelations and caused waves among our contemporary community of Angic Upper and Lower cells in Bala Sub-County, Kole district, Northern Uganda”. One of the community member of Angic Upper and Lower cells was reported to have said this, when a team of their children at the Home Economics of Kole Intellectual Forum visited them in their village on the 28/3/2021. This statement was made in respond to the campaign; when the organization fundamentally underpinned their community to observe girl child rights and went further to inspire the entire generation of that area to rethink of the importance of education to their lives; something that they at the organization are trying to advocate for.
Kole Intellectual Forum therefore through its works and project on the platform of GlobalGivng, is intending to change the way in which people of Angic Upper and lower cells used to think about themselves and their contemporary society; particularly their negativity about education program to what the organization believe will be called: the period of transformation in the area, thus changing the community to embrace education program forever and ever more.
