In 2019, our H3-Uganda partner Rodgers Atwebembeire visited us here in the States and shared one of his primary concerns for the people of his country. Young women struggle to complete their education and then struggle to find work in an impossibly competitive job market. Often they fall prey to marriages of convenience, human trafficking, or life on the streets. 

The American H3 team started brainstorming ways that we could be involved in this issue, especially the need to find educated young women jobs. We landed on an internship in which the girls could be paid as they were taught skills that would give them a leg up in the job market. But it was our African H3 team that was able to fine-tune our ideas into a realistic and sustainable program.

The P3 Program selects a young woman with a secondary degree to work full-time for a non-profit ministry-focused organization, sponsoring her for a year of employment that will hone her skills, give her job experience, and also be of service to her community.
 

One of the highlights of our trip this year was the privilege to meet our first P3 Intern Eunice Biira, who works for Project Princess Initiative.
