This thesis aimed to determine the effectiveness of the Madres del Futuro program in improving the knowledge level of mothers regarding complementary feeding for children aged 6 to 12 months at the Lince Health Center. It was a pre-experimental study with a pre-post design in a single group. The study population consisted of 240 mothers of children aged 6 to 12 months who receive monthly care at the Growth and Development consultation of the Lince Health Center. A sample of 50 mothers was selected based on pre-established inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were collected using a 15-question questionnaire with closed multiple-choice answers, and its validity and reliability were determined through expert judgment (binomial test p < 0.05). Additionally, the Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient was used (p = 0.73). The results showed that the mothers' knowledge level before the program (pretest) was medium (46%), with a tendency towards low (32%), while after the program (posttest), the mothers reached a high knowledge level (60%), with a tendency towards medium (40%). No mothers were found with a low knowledge level. It was concluded that the implemented educational program was effective (Chi-square: 15.285).
