The Municipality of Tigre has implemented various social assistance programs to support vulnerable residents and students. In September 2026, the municipality distributed orthopedic equipment, including wheelchairs, canes, and walkers, to more than 30 residents at the Juana Azurduy Rehabilitation Center. Local officials described the initiative as a way to maintain healthcare quality amid a perceived withdrawal of national government funding for disability-related functions.

In October 2026, the municipality expanded its assistance through the ‘Para Verte Mejor’ program, which distributed 100 pairs of eyeglasses to primary school students in El Talar and Don Torcuato. This long-running initiative, a collaboration between municipal secretariats and private foundations, aims to support educational development by providing essential vision assistance to families who may lack health insurance.
