Bolsa Família
Bolsa Família is a social welfare program in Brazil designed to provide financial assistance to low-income families. Launched in 2003, it aims to reduce poverty and promote access to education and healthcare. Families receive monthly payments based on their income and the number of children they have, encouraging them to keep their children in school and attend regular health check-ups.
The program targets families living in extreme poverty, ensuring they can meet basic needs such as food and education. By linking financial support to educational and health requirements, Bolsa Família helps break the cycle of poverty and improve the overall well-being of vulnerable populations in Brazil.
