For Educational support to OVC in the year 2015 till date by Board members and various philanthropist. Hope – yet welfare foundation has 645- OVC (414 Males and 231 Females) most of whom are double orphans and Child Headed Household with ages raging from 3 years to 21. Out of the 740 OVCs, 320 constituting (178 Males and 142 Females) lost their parents due to HIV AIDS while a total of 15 OVC (9 Males and 6 Females aged 16 & 18) are living with HIV. 173 VC (100 Males and 73 Females) are in school while 137 VC (75 Males 62 Females) have dropped out of school due to lack of care and support or heading the family and so dropped out of school to take care of their siblings. This situation calls for intervention in order to improve the quality of life of 740 Vulnerable Children (Males 414 and Females 326 ), aim at keeping these young children from idleness and getting into crime through access to skills acquisition for economic empowerment and health care support for those living with HIV AIDS in particular.
However, our ability to continue this laudable program is overstretch due to lack of funding. Our target before 2022 is to help this vulnerable children to be self sufficient in various legitimate means of livelihood and education.
As much as Education is concern, we are proud to report that Rev, Fr. Dr. Bulus Vincent through hope Yet Foundation, has trained one Msc holder, five University graduates, eleven University undergraduate students, six students in polytechnic and 11 in various colleges of Education.

SILC (Savings And Internal Lending Communities). 2017 till date.
Savings and Internal lending communities (SILCs) is a type of community based Accumulating Saving and Credit Association (ASCA). SILCs build on an ASCA model developed by CARE in Niger (the Mata Masu Dubara or women on the move Project, often referred to as MMD) and incorporate a number CRS specific adaptations and innovations. SILCs are usually more attractive to participants. This is because SILCs offer interest on members’ savings, provide a micro – insurance service, and provide access to loans in useful and varying amounts, usually in excess of the borrower’s total savings and for varying lengths of time made possible by the collection of two contributions by members known as the Loan fund and Social Fund recorded carefully into a well- organized and simple to use Ledger.
The savings insurance and loan facilities of SILCs allow members to meet their small short term financial needs for household cash-flow smoothing income- generating activities and meeting social obligations without borrowing money from lenders. All guided by a written constitution developed (by the group itself), principles and a methodology intensively taught to the community groups and supervised by trained facilitators called Field Agents for the period of nine to twelve months (one year) after which SILCs operate on their own as unsupervised groups, saving progressively.
The Support Group Members will be trained with continued support from Project Officers and the Field Agents. This intervention (training) will provide knowledge and skills on Savings and Internal Lending Communities (SILCs) Group Members in the surrounding settlements
The strategies for achieving our aim are registration of members from the various centers of accessing their ARVs, SILCs formation after registration and put in clusters. SILCs Certified Field Agents are hired and planned trainings are carried out After the training SILCs Groups will start meeting, saving and taking loans with social fund to support each other.
Goal:
To improve the quality of life of 1010 Support Group Members and their households i through training in SILC Methodology.
Over the years, SILC groups and support group members have gathered and successfully shared amongst them large sums not less than N300,000.00. hence making them self sufficient and reduction in poverty.
However, the need to expand SILC methodology to other communities is hampered due to lack of funds for training of field Agents and working tools.
