Social action in network
CaixaProinfancia has the collaboration of 426 social entities that work in a network and that are in charge of directly attending families, prioritizing aid and monitoring each case.
CaixaProinfancia not only enhances networking among social entities.
The project also promotes a coordinated action with other agents of the territory (town halls, schools and health centers, among others) to give a global and integral response to the needs of children and their families.
Therefore, the assessment of each case, the work plan with the specific objectives, monitoring and evaluation is done jointly by the parties involved.
In addition to Murcia, the project is carried out in the main Spanish cities such as Barcelona, ​​Madrid, Bilbao, Malaga, Palma, Seville, Zaragoza, Santiago de Compostela, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Zaragoza and Valencia, among others.
The program is expanding its scope of action to more areas and / or disadvantaged neighborhoods throughout the Spanish territory.
