This paper presents a qualitative research that seeks to know the impact of the Cai- xaProinfancia 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 hig- hest 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 im- provements 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 gi- ven 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 pro- gram in Mallorca, allows access to new development program stages giving special promi- nence to community work.
