How to Get Involved With or Support BPNI

Updated

BPNI (Breastfeeding Promotion Network of India) offers several ways to engage: donating through its "DONATE NOW" link, following its Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube channels, staying current via the "WHAT'S NEW" section, and joining advocacy actions such as signing petitions. These options suit anyone who wants to support breastfeeding promotion in India — whether through funding, information sharing, or public advocacy. Note that the site does not state whether donations require login or what payment methods are accepted.

Donate to BPNI

The homepage includes a "DONATE NOW" entry, which is the most direct way to financially support the network's work. The site does not specify accepted payment platforms, currency, or whether a donor account is needed, so treat those details as unconfirmed until you reach the donation page itself.

Follow BPNI on social media

BPNI maintains three public channels listed on its site:

Platform How to find it
Facebook "FACEBOOK" link on the homepage
Twitter "Follow me on Twitter" / embedded tweets from @bpniindia
YouTube "SEE MORE" link under the YouTube section

Following these accounts keeps you informed about campaigns, events, and new resources without needing to check the website manually.

Stay updated through "WHAT'S NEW"

The homepage's "WHAT'S NEW" section is where BPNI posts current activities. Examples from the site include:

  • World Breastfeeding Week-2026
  • "Let's Turn Our Hospitals to be Breastfeeding Friendly"
  • BPNI's Ante-natal Preparation Modules for Feeding Babies
  • "Breastfeeding Friendly Hospital" Initiative (BFHI) India for Private Hospitals

Checking this section periodically is the simplest way to see what the network is running and where volunteers or partners might be needed.

Join advocacy actions

BPNI uses its platform to mobilize supporters on specific issues. One example on the site is a petition titled "Stop Unethical Research on Babies" — opposing infant formula trials — with a call to "sign/amplify/RT" via a Change.org link. This shows that advocacy participation (signing, sharing, retweeting) is an expected form of involvement alongside donating.

Use and share BPNI's resources

BPNI publishes parent-facing material, such as Breastfeeding and Complementary Feeding: A Guide for the Parents, available in English, Hindi, Telugu, Kannada, Assamese, Gujarati, Oriya, and Punjabi, priced at Rs. 50 with an "ORDER NOW" option. Ordering these guides — or sharing them with families and health workers — is another practical way to extend BPNI's reach.

Which option fits you

  • Want to give money: use the "DONATE NOW" link (confirm payment details on that page).
  • Want to stay informed: follow @bpniindia on Twitter and the Facebook/YouTube links.
  • Want to act on a specific issue: look for petition or campaign links under "WHAT'S NEW."
  • Want to help parents directly: order and distribute the breastfeeding guide in your language.
