The work of IIMC covers a range of activities.
It started by offering medical services to the poor.
The need to ensure access to education was then tackled with a sponsorship system. (Currently helping about 2400 children) IIMC has opened and runs 19 rural schools.
Poverty was then tackled with work creation schemes, and recently an extensive micro-finance network.
Health Education was developed with an outreach, village based approach. IIMC is now a leader in the area in Health Promotion, running a self-help network and leading 35 other local NGOs.
We are seeking support in any of these ways-
1.Sponsoring a child's education (£10 a month)
2.Giving donations for a number of projects that we are supporting, including the development of the new Handicapped Centre.
3.Giving your services as a volunteer. We have a need for nurses, doctors, physiotherapists, teachers to give direct help and to advise local staff and volunteers.
