Welcome to Empower Asia
Welcome to Empower Asia, an initiative providing essential legal support to expats and small business owners in Asia. My name is Quentin, and this campaign is driven by a deep connection to Asia in general, having lived here most of my life and a passion for justice.
I believe everyone deserves access to legal guidance, especially when navigating unfamiliar systems. Empower Asia is my commitment to making that a reality, built on personal experiences and a strong desire to help others thrive.
My Path to This Cause
Teaching in Sichuan
An inspiring experience at an orphanage that ignited my passion for helping others in Asia.
Personal Challenges
Navigating loss and divorce strengthened my resolve and empathy for those facing hardship.
Agoda Litigation Win
Successfully recovering $5,000 from a hotel scam in Thailand proved the power of legal advocacy.
Sorbonne Law Studies
Pursuing law at a prestigious institution to gain the skills needed to fight for justice.
Inspired by Legacy
Motivated by a retired judge's dedication to fairness and access to legal support.
Empower Asia Vision
Founding this initiative to provide free legal aid to expats and entrepreneurs.
Our Mission and Goals
Empower Asia is committed to accessible legal aid. Over the next six months, our key goals are:
- Deliver 100 free legal consultations.
- Resolve 20 disputes through mediation or advice.
- Create 5 valuable legal resources (e.g., scam prevention guides).
Our initial fundraising goal is $5,000, a vital milestone towards our total $50,000 goal. This initial fund will be used for:
- Technology Setup: Website and booking tools.
- Marketing & Outreach: Reaching those in need.
- Initial Consultations: Funding the first 10-15 consultations.
- Administrative Costs: Essential operations.
Achieving our $5,000 goal will allow us to launch and demonstrate immediate impact, paving the way to expand our services significantly with the total goal.
Making a Real Difference
Your contribution has a tangible impact:
- Cost Savings: One consultation can save an expat or small business owner $1,000+ in potential legal fees or losses.
- Preventing Crises: We provide expert guidance to prevent small issues from becoming major legal problems.
- Team Effort: I am joined by dedicated classmates from Sorbonne law school. Their expertise strengthens our capacity and credibility.
