The CPI program is an initiative of the Obra Social “la Caixa” offering social and educational support by a social familiar and inter-dimensional work in response to child poverty. This paper presents a qualitative research that seeks to know the impact of the CaixaProinfancia program (CPI) in Mallorca from the interest groups perspective. Mallorca present one of highest poverty level in Spain, it is the autonomous community with the highest percentage of international migration and suffers a historic deficit of public services provision, mainly social. This paper collect the perception of families participating in the program, professionals involved and that of those key agents of the territory involved in the program. The program has generated positive changes especially in minors and to a smaller extent in families. Families recognized to acquire parenting skills that improve the domestic relations, to have more personal time and to feel supported both by the work of professionals in the programme and by other families approach. We can perceive some improvements in school, behavior, social relations and autonomy and motivation for studies in minors. The network has also developed along with services evolution, which boosted clear impact improvement. Mainly due to a community context development that has given meaning to the various carried actions. Altogether, the perceived program results are satisfactory and the success in the implementation of the various actions of the CPI program in Mallorca, allows access to new development program stages giving special prominence to community work.
