About Us
We are an organization that supports, educates and empowers girls to stay in school. The work we do is two pronged;
Project Princess Initiative (PPI) is a local Christian based non-government organization fully registered under registration NO. S.5914/10113 and started its work in 2009. It was in that year when the founder Mrs. Fiona Mirembe Kiggundu who owned a pre- school was approached by two young Girls in search for employment opportunities in her school. Being with a passionate heart and more so a mother, Mrs. Fiona Kiggundu did not offer employment to these young Girls because they were teens still in high school but realized the need to empower them bearing in mind that there could be more other girls in a similar situation. The two Girls were welcomed as her own for counseling sessions at her school who later spread the message to their friends in schools they attended to and they met once in a while.

My names are Daisy Namutebi, 13 years ago I lived in a small village called Kaseesa. I lived with my grandmother and everyday, I walked 3 kilometers to school barefooted. At some point, the old lady could not afford to pay school fees for me, her beloved grand daughter anymore due to poverty. What is interesting, is the amount of money she could not afford.

My Name is Keren, I am thankful to God for PPI. My third year in High school, I dropped out. My father had lost his job and my mother was a stay at home Mom. This meant I would never achieve my dream of being a banker. I stayed home without schooling for over a year. i would cry everyday. One day, PPI staff visited my sister's school. she was already a princess and they had found her a sponsor. This time she told them about me and my need. She gave them our mother's contact number. The next week, my mom and I visited PPI offices and they agreed to find me a sponsor. I am so blessed to know Dr.Ben and Pat Allen from St. Louis who have been my sponsors through High school and Kyambogo University. I completed my Bachelor in Economics and Banking. God is faithful. We are grateful to Ms. Fiona for allowing God to use her through the PPI Ministry, so we can reach our dreams!
