The governor of SP speaks and says that more than 100 thousand families will benefit
According to Doria, governor of SP, this is one of the most important programs that have been launched, as it promises to change the lives of many people. Those who have a low income know how difficult it is to have a gas cylinder to meet the needs of a family. Therefore, the government of SP is creating Vale-gas to serve thousands of people in the state and help those who need it most.
According to the governor, through the program, more than 104.340 low-income families, who live in poor communities and slums, will have access to three installments of Vale-Gás, worth R$ 100 each, which will be paid between July and December of this year.
To find out if you can receive the aid, the citizen must access the official website of Vale-Gas. The website is now available and just enter the NIS number to access the information.
