Bolsa Família

Bolsa Família is a Brazilian social welfare program designed to reduce poverty and inequality. It provides financial assistance to low-income families, conditional on certain requirements such as children's school attendance and regular health check-ups. Launched in 2003, the program aims to improve living conditions and promote social inclusion. By giving families additional resources, Bolsa Família helps ensure access to basic needs like food and education, ultimately empowering them to improve their quality of life and break the cycle of poverty. The program has been recognized for its effectiveness in alleviating poverty across Brazil.
