As part of the Corazones program, Governor Marina del Pilar Ávila Olmeda visited priority areas in the municipality of San Felipe to provide financial aid to women and men over 50 years old.

“These programs promote a fairer society where everyone has real opportunities to improve their quality of life. Supporting those who have worked their entire lives is an act of social justice, just as we encourage our youth to continue their studies and achieve their dreams,” the governor said.
