have four priority areas of work:
- We
will establish the first university course in speech therapy in Cambodia
by 2020, to train the first generation of Cambodian speech therapists. - We
will ensure jobs for these graduates are created, both in the private and
public sector. - We
will raise awareness amongst all levels of community and government, as
speech therapy is an entirely new concept in Cambodia. - We
will influence government policy, to ensure local ownership of the
solution.
Over
the last two years we have helped more than 100 children and have accomplished
a number of key goals including piloting Cambodia’s first independently
evaluated speech therapy training program.

We
have a 14-year strategy from 2017 to 2030, that will ensure speech therapy is
led by Cambodians and available to all who need it in Cambodia. Our end goal is
100 speech therapists employed by government by 2030, after which OIC will exit
the country and government will take over.
