As announced by Social Prosperity, this measure seeks to strengthen economic protection in old age and contribute to improving the conditions of this population.

The monetary transfers of the Colombia Mayor program protect people over 80 years of age who are in extreme poverty, facing the economic risk derived from the impossibility of generating income and social exclusion.

Social Prosperity insists on calling on the beneficiaries of Colombia Mayor not to fall into fraud or scams: the entity does not charge any amount to belong to the program or to access the payment of subsidies.
