The Sintra Municipal Council approved 244 thousand euros to support needy families with water bill payments. This measure comes within the scope of a municipal social support program aimed at alleviating the burden of basic expenses on the most vulnerable families in the municipality.
The initiative aims to ensure that no Sintra family is left without access to drinking water due to financial difficulties. The support will be directed to households that demonstrate need and meet the criteria established by the municipality to access this subsidy.
With this approval, Sintra reinforces its commitment to social protection of the most disadvantaged municipal residents. The local authority thus demonstrates its concern to guarantee essential basic rights, such as access to water, for all citizens of the municipality.
The measure is part of a broader strategy to combat poverty and social exclusion in the Sintra region, where many families face growing economic difficulties. This funding adds to other social support programs already implemented by the municipal council in recent years.
