How to Engage with Friends of Malaysia

Friends of Malaysia, an affiliate organization of the National Peace Corps Association (NPCA), welcomes all Malaysia RPCVs to continue their life of service at home and to share their Peace Corps experiences so that future generations will be inspired to find meaning in helping others. As a 501(c3) nonprofit, Friends of Malaysia is an all-volunteer organization with zero expenses. All contributions to Friends of Malaysia are used to make small grants to Malaysian NGOs that serve the public good, primarily to peoples and places left behind. Read about the most recent FoM grants, including disaster relief in response to the Sandakan Fire, the Penang Pink Ladies Association (Pertubuhan Wanita Merah Muda Pulau Pinang) and the Engkari Community Wildlife Project. On the About FoM page of the website, you can make a contribution to FoM, nominate a Malaysian NGO for a small grant, and learn how FoM won the NPCA Loret Miller Ruppe Award for Outstanding Committe Service three times!
