The New Bolsa Família Policy Also Includes Additions Of R $150 For Children Aged 0 To 6 Years And R $50 For Members Aged 7 To 18 Years.

The President Of Caixa Econômica Federal (CEF), Rita Serrano, Also Announced That All Bolsa Família Cards Will Become Debit Cards.
At The End Of The Ceremony, The Minister Became Emotional About The Cause And Made An Appeal: “Let’s Take Brazil Out Of The Hunger Map. Let’s Take Brazil Out Of The Map Of Food Insecurity And Nutritional Insecurity!”, He Said, While Asking The Audience To Pray A Lord’s Prayer Aloud.
