President Gustavo Petro announced that mothers who are heads of households will be beneficiaries of the Solidarity Income program and will receive $500,000 a month.

“We are going to transform it in the remainder of the year in such a way that a mother who is the head of a family can receive $500,000 a month, which I hope will generate the option for the mother to come out of the poverty line and be able to bring food to her sons and daughters, protecting them from malnutrition,” Petro said.
The president explained that the Solidarity Income program will continue until November and then it will have to be reconsidered due, as he said, to the lack of resources.

Keep in mind that the subsidy money ranges, which are granted to Colombian households, depend on the number of people living in a beneficiary family.
That is, for group A, if the household is for one person, the benefit is $420,000, for two, $440,000, for three, $480,000; and four or more, $520,000. For group B, they are $380,000, $396,000, $412,000, and $428,000, respectively.
