The orphanhood subsidy is a measure of the Peruvian Government to support minors who have lost one or both parents, or their legal guardian. This aid, managed by the National Institute of Family Welfare (INABIF) and the Ministry of Women and Vulnerable Populations (MIMP), seeks to ensure the well-being and comprehensive development of affected children and adolescents.
Since the creation of this measure, the main objective has been to guarantee that orphaned minors can access resources to cover their basic needs and facilitate their development. Below, we detail what the requirements are and how to apply.
What is the orphan’s allowance about?
He orphanhood allowance is a monthly pension of S/200 that is collected every 2 months, granted by INABIF to each orphaned minor. This benefit is intended to cover vital needs such as food, education, physical and mental health, recovery therapies and other expenses associated with the comprehensive development of children and adolescents. Law No. 31405 establishes that the use of this subsidy must be exclusively for these purposes.
Who are the beneficiaries?
The main beneficiaries of this subsidy are children and adolescents who have lost their mother, father or legal guardian, and who come from homes in poverty or extreme poverty. In addition, those minors whose legal guardians have died and who are covered under the intersectoral mechanism for the protection of human rights defenders can also access this help.
In addition, Preference is given to minors with chronic illnesses or disabilities. The inclusion of these criteria ensures that the subsidy reaches those who truly need it, providing significant relief to their living conditions.

To access this subsidy, the minor must be registered in the Information Registry of Orphaned Girls, Boys and Adolescents of the National Registry of Identification and Marital Status (RENIEC).
