HOPEHIV’s new Village Investors Programme (VIP) gives parents, guardians and committed community volunteers the opportunity to save their money and borrow small loans to build their businesses, ultimately meaning they can look after the children in their care better, and for longer.
● Each VIP group consists of around 30 members, who collectively care for as many as 150 orphans and vulnerable children.
● Each VIP group is self-governed and self-financed - no external money is put into the savings pot leading to great community ownership and accountability.
● Over one year, the average income of a VIP group member goes from $1 per day to $3 per day – a tripling in income.
Qlik asks each employee to consider raising $75 to enable one community member to join a VIP group.
