These cards, funded by the Junta de Andalucía and the European Union through the European Social Fund Plus, and managed by Cruz Roja and the Municipal Delegation of Social Rights, allow beneficiary families to purchase basic food and hygiene products at affiliated supermarkets.
The amounts of the aid, which lasts for one year, range from 130 to 220 euros per month, depending on the number of members in each family unit. As explained by the Delegation of Social Rights, headed by councilwoman Cristina Durán, the procedures for 29 of the 67 requested cards have already been completed.
The mayoress emphasized that "the objective of this aid is for these families to be able to cope with material deprivation." Ronda has been the municipality in the province with the highest number of prepaid cards managed.
