IMA Community Outreach
Compassion in Action.
iTouch is the Indiana Malayali Association’s charitable initiative, bringing our community together to support individuals and families facing serious medical hardships.
Serving the community since 2006
Why iTouch Exists
iTouch brings the community together to provide financial assistance for serious medical treatments, surgeries, transplants and other critical needs. Every contribution is pooled through our annual Kerala Day gathering and directed toward families who need it most.
Community isn’t only about celebrating together. It’s about showing up for one another when it matters most.

Relief & Rebuilding · 2018–2019
When the devastating Kerala floods affected thousands of families across the state, the Indiana Malayali Association came together to support relief, recovery and long-term rehabilitation efforts.
Working with trusted organizations in Kerala, IMA helped provide essential household supplies, food, clothing, housing assistance, livelihood support, mobility equipment and community rehabilitation.
Together, we helped Kerala recover, rebuild, and move forward.
