Programa Bolsa Família

Programa Bolsa Família is a Brazilian social welfare initiative aimed at reducing poverty and inequality. Launched in 2003, it provides financial assistance to low-income families, helping them meet basic needs like food, healthcare, and education. Families receive monthly payments, which increase if they meet conditions, such as sending children to school and maintaining health check-ups. This program not only supports immediate financial needs but also encourages long-term development by promoting education and health, making it a crucial tool for improving the quality of life for millions of Brazilians.
