Galician Social Program 'Madres' Expands to Rural Vilalba, Offering Support to Mothers in Need The 'Madres' program, designed to aid mothers in precarious situations with children, has expanded its reach to the rural town of Vilalba, Galicia. Initially launched in 2018, the program already provides support in A Coruña, Pontevedra, and O Barco de Valdeorras. This expansion to Vilalba marks a significant milestone in the program's growth. "This is a crucial step in ensuring that all mothers in need, regardless of their location, have access to the support they deserve," stated a spokesperson for the program, emphasizing the importance of extending services to rural areas. The program offers a range of services, including social and labor inclusion initiatives, aiming to empower mothers and improve their quality of life. In Vilalba alone, the program currently assists 25 women and 2 men, demonstrating the significant demand for such services in rural communities. The expansion demonstrates a commitment to providing equitable access to support services across Galicia. The program's success in urban areas bodes well for its effectiveness in rural communities, offering hope for a brighter future for vulnerable families.
