About BABSEA

 

Our Vision

At Bridges Across Borders Southeast Asia (BABSEA) we envision a world where respect for human rights and human dignity are universally accepted and respected norms, where extreme poverty, social injustice and violence are relics of the past, and where human beings live in harmony with our ecosystem.

 

Our Mission

Bridges Across Borders Southeast Asia (BABSEA) is an international grassroots organization working to bring people together to overcome poverty, injustice and inequity in the Southeast Asia region.


We are building bridges across borders by:

  • Raising global awareness of the pressing issues facing people in Southeast Asia

  • Facilitating people-to-people and educational exchanges, cross-cultural dialogue, and volunteer programs

  • Supporting local struggles for social justice, equitable development and the protection of human rights

  • Teaching creative, non-violent methods of resolving conflict and redressing injustice.

 

Countries of Operation

BABSEA is working in Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia, Laos and Vietnam, implementing a wide variety of community development and capacity-building, child protection and education, transitional justice and community legal education initiatives.

 

Bridges Across Borders Southeast Asia (BABSEA) incorporated as a not-for-profit organization in the State of Florida in July 2008 and received its publicly-supported 501c-3 status in March 2009.
