Our Why
Creating Opportunities Through Mentoring
Young people today face a world of uncertainty—wars, disasters, rapid technological change, and a growing lack of meaningful human connection. Many are left feeling fearful, lonely, and unsure about the future.
But there is hope. Mentors provide more than guidance—they listen, open doors, and believe in a young person’s potential even in difficult times. With a mentor, young lives gain courage, clarity, and renewed hope that can uplift entire communities. Since 2010, Voices Of Asia has pursued one purpose: to ensure every young person can thrive through the power of mentoring, because lifting one life can transform generations.

“It was a fulfilling experience for me personally to help and guide Alina as she begins her exciting journey into the business world. Today was our last coaching session, and we were both elated to hear that Alina just got a job offer, and the goal of this mentorship was actually achieved! I look forward to hearing about her future success over the years”
Rocky B. Esguerra
Mentor“It has been such an enriching experience, and in turn I have learnt so much from my mentee as well. I would encourage all to come forward to join us as mentors and mentees. It’s in the strength of a community where we collectively look out and care for one another that we can build a stronger and more inclusive society.”
Mervyn Lim

Edna Lim
Regional APAC Lead, Mentor“Joining the Voices of Asia mentorship program was one of the best decisions I made as a graduating student amidst the COVID 19 pandemic. Rocky’s mentorship will leave a lasting impact on my personal and professional development and I am so grateful for it.”
Alina Toh
Mentee“The saying goes, ‘no two days in marketing are the same’ – the marketing realms are constantly evolving, from offline to online, from virtual-ready to virtual-first, just to elucidate a few. What I relish as a mentor is to share these exciting forefront developments with mentees, to marry what they learn from theories with real-world underpinnings, so they can meaningfully ascertain if the daily challenge of managing the marketing mix suits them!”
Mervyn Lim
Mentor“This mentorship journey has evolved to become something that is very close to my heart. I’ve been blessed with amazing mentors, John being one of them. With the help of John, I learnt a lot more about myself that I didn’t know existed. With this newfound knowledge, I will be able to pursue my passions with a better understanding of my own needs and wants.”
Keerthana
Mentee“I have been a mentor for several programs including Voices of Asia. To me, mentoring gives me a broader view of young people, their ambitions, and their issues and challenges. Also, it made me realise that I have useful experience and information that can be valued by someone else and help give some life direction. Mentoring is a 2-way street with the mentee, and it’s a privilege to be involved. It’s nice to know that I can be part of someone else’s success.”
“Fulfilling!” That is the word I will use to describe my mentorship journey. Even though it was a mix of virtual and physical sessions, it did not discount the experience. I was able to learn a lot from my experienced mentor, Pankaj. I got to discover and understand a lot more about myself. I was provided with a lot of guidance and clarification for the doubts that I have.
Sng Jia Hui
Mentee“As a new non-profit focused on impact work, we often forget we need to run a sustainable organization too. A big thank you to Kelvin from Voices of Asia, who has helped us reinforce our youth impact strategy in Southeast Asia and strengthen our senior management capabilities to execute through a robust mentoring programme. Our foundations are much stronger now.”
Ashley S
CEO, Shine Youth Impact“I found real joy when I volunteered to be a mentor with Voices Of Asia. Somehow, when my advise actually inspired someone to persevere through a difficult work situation, I felt empowered and happy myself. I will encourage everyone to be a mentor”
Karoline S
Mentor“I am glad to meet my Mentor through Voices Of Asia who has helped me regain my confidence after I wasn’t able to find a job for a long time. Her life story touched me, and encouraged me that I should take the chance to work on myself, instead of seeing it as a failure”
Shu W
Student/Mentee“Building a career in Pakistan isn’t easy, especially as a woman. When I moved from HR to sales, Priya believed in me, guided me, and opened doors I couldn’t open myself. She mentored with so much care. If more leaders were like her, work would truly be a place to grow.”
Afsan Ahmed
Mentee“Our mentoring programme really helped prepare our students for their next chapter. It’s encouraging to see so many mentors from various companies and industries stepping forward. I cannot think of a more impactful way to instil confidence in my students”
