Institute for Indian Mother & Child (IIMC)

Based in West Bengal, India, The Institute for Indian Mother and Child (IIMC) is a grassroots nonprofit organisation founded in 1989 by Dr Sujit Brahmochary. IIMC was established to empower women and children living in poverty and to create lasting pathways out of poverty.

What we love at Delaco Panels is IIMC’s integrated community development model. By combining healthcare, education, and women’s economic empowerment, IIMC doesn’t just address immediate needs, it builds long-term resilience and self-sufficiency within communities.

Since it was founded in 1989 millions of people have positively impacted by IIMCs work and child sponsorship program. Yet in West Bengal more than nine million people continue to live below the poverty line. The need remains significant, and so does the opportunity to make a difference.

We would love you to partner with us to support IIMC deliver more practical, life-changing programs, including:

• Antenatal and postnatal care
• Essential medicines and clinic supplies
• Access to education for children
• Access to microcredit which helps women start their own business

Every dollar contributes directly to meaningful, on-the-ground impact.

While all of IIMC’s programmes are vital, we particularly value their commitment to education as a catalyst for lasting change. Each year, thousands of children who once faced limited opportunities are given access to quality education, breaking the cycle of poverty and building brighter futures for themselves and their families.

Through its sponsorship program, IIMC has:

• Supported the construction of more than 30 schools
• Educated over 4,000 children each year
• Seen multiple schools independently funded by Australian donors

These include:

• IIMC Sikshangan Nagendrapur School (inaugurated October 2012)
• Dhaki Primary School (inaugurated December 2014)
• Emmanuel College School (inaugurated January 2018)
