PARCIC, a non-profit organization, was established in 2008 to support producers in Malaysia, Timor-Leste, Myanmar, and other countries to help them achieve self-reliant and sustainable livelihoods and economies. BEYOND BORDERS donates a portion of its sales to PARSIC every month as a Monthly Supporter. Our support is just beginning, but we are committed to building further relationships and expanding our circle of support.  

PARCIC’s Activities in Malaysia

Protection of Coastal Fisheries Resources

Mangrove planting activities will be conducted to support fishermen who are suffering from declining fish catches due to water pollution and coastal development caused by Malaysia’s rapid economic growth.

Women’s Livelihood Support

PARCIC supports women who are behind the scenes of coastal fishermen’s organizations in Malaysia so that they can sell their products and earn income through food processing businesses.

Multicultural Society Education and English Language Education

PARCIC provides educational programs that enable students to learn about multicultural society and environmental issues while learning English, which is the common language in Malaysia, a multi-ethnic and multicultural country with a mix of Malay, overseas Chinese, and Indian residents.
