    Regional Communications Adviser Asia – Terre des Hommes Netherlands

    I am truly honoured to be working in diverse contexts within the Asia region.

Mahima and her work at Terre des Hommes

Mahima works as a communications adviser for the Asia region. She coordinates and manages ethical content collection and creation, brand and visibility, campaigns, internal communications and external positioning, across South and Southeast Asia.

I am truly honored to be working in diverse contexts across the Asia region.

The Asia region is vast and extremely diverse. Also complex; especially in the widespread challenges children face. I’m grateful that my work contributes to navigating solutions to the same, with every story, photograph, video, publication and campaign.

The image in my header, taken in Nepal, deeply resonates with my work. The vibrant colors symbolise the diversity in children’s voices across the range of countries, the stunning landscapes, and the varying socio-political contexts. My role is to amplify these voices and anchor them towards empowerment.
