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.

Our Testimonials
Hear from others
“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
Mentor“I take being a mentor literally by its original meaning of being a wise friend, leading people successfully through change.”
Alexander Trost

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.”

Mentoring creates access—access to wisdom, confidence, opportunities, and hope. In a fast-changing and often isolating world, mentoring provides human connection that accelerates learning, builds resilience, and helps people navigate life and work with greater clarity. When done well, mentoring not only transforms individuals but also strengthens teams, organisations, and even nations.
Mentoring is a trusted, intentional relationship—one-to-one or one-to-few—that leads to meaningful growth and positive outcomes. At its core, mentoring is about trust and care, where a mentor walks alongside another person to share experience, offer advice, coach, challenge, or simply listen. It can be formal or informal, structured or organic, depending on the readiness and needs of both the mentor and the mentee.
Voices Of Asia is not a programme manager. We are deeply passionate builders of mentoring ecosystems. We specialise in helping nations, corporates, schools, NGOs, and social-impact organisations design mentoring systems that truly work—systems that shape culture, unlock potential, and create lasting impact rather than short-term programmes.
Beyond encouraging inclusive mentoring within organisations, we created Mentoring Asia—a safe, self-service digital platform where mentors and mentees can onboard and connect anytime, anywhere. This removes barriers to access and makes mentoring available to people regardless of background, geography, or circumstance.
Through Voices Of Asia Change Institute, we partner end-to-end—from needs diagnosis and system design to execution and measurable outcomes. We ensure mentoring is not treated as a standalone initiative, but as a powerful catalyst that drives leadership development, culture change, and sustainable people outcomes.
You are invited to be part of the Mentoring Asia community—whether as a mentor or a mentee. By joining our portal, you step into a living ecosystem of growth, connection, and possibility.
As a mentee, we will journey with you—introducing you to meaningful events, learning experiences, and mentors who can encourage, guide, and open new doors. As a mentor, you will be equipped and supported through training and curated mentoring opportunities, enabling you to make a real difference in someone’s life.
As a decision-maker, you have the power to shape more than policies—you can shape lives and culture. By encouraging your employees to join Mentoring Asia, you enable them to serve as mentor-volunteers or to gain access to mentors who will support their personal and professional growth.
Beyond participation, you can partner with us to build a strong, sustainable mentoring culture within your organisation—one rooted in care, trust, and human connection. The result is a workplace where people feel supported and inspired, while performance, engagement, and motivation rise together.
Since 2010, our founder and leadership team have worked closely with governments and senior executives across Asia to transform people and culture. Through strong advocacy, trusted relationships, and a relentless focus on outcomes, Voices Of Asia is recognised as a credible and dependable partner for organisations seeking real, measurable impact across the region.
