Citizen Income is a Colombian government program designed to combat poverty and promote social mobility. In this line, Social Prosperity has developed a virtual calculator so that beneficiaries can know how much money they will receive in each cycle.
How does Citizen Income work?
This program is complemented by several lines and programs, among them we can find:
Colombia Without Hunger: Focused on families with minor children who face food insecurity.
Care Assessment: Aimed at households in extreme poverty that care for minor children or people with disabilities.
Capacity Building: Supports families in moderate poverty who demonstrate achievements towards sustainable overcoming their situation.
Regarding the income they receive, the beneficiaries can receive between 300,000 and 500,000 pesos Colombians every 45 days, depending on your specific situation.
