WE HELP PEOPLE
COMMUNICATE
"OIC" refers to "Oh, I see!", often exclaimed at a moment of
understanding, when something becomes clear. We are a small
team of speech therapists, specialists and volunteers based in Phnom
Penh, Cambodia. We also have advisory teams and volunteers
based out of 5 countries. OIC Cambodias goal is to make speech
therapy available to all who need it in Cambodia.
In Cambodia, more than 600,000 people have a communication
or swallowing disorder, yet health services for them are virtually
non-existent. We are working towards a Cambodia where people
with communication and swallowing difficulties have full, happy
lives and participate fully in society.
OIC Cambodias work focuses on the following four areas:
Raising awareness about the urgent need for speech therapy
in Cambodia;
Encouraging the Cambodian government to implement policy
to develop speech therapy as a profession;

LAYING THE
GROUNDWORK
We are on a mission to bring speech therapy to every person in
Cambodia. In 2015, we laid some important groundwork to prepare
for the challenge. We strengthened our partnerships in the field.
We expanded and taken new staff and volunteers to support in
our operations, fundraising, communications and speech therapy
programs. We thought strategically about how to help more people
in Cambodia in years to come.

WORKING IN
THE FIELD
We work with disability workers from the local organisation
CABDICO to make sure speech therapy programs continue to
serve communities over time. We collect valuable information
from the field with their support. We believe that once therapy
starts, it shouldnt stop.

I choose OIC because 600,000 Cambodians have a communication
disability. And yet, health services for them are nearly non-existent. As
a consequence, many children with the disabilities couldnt go to school
or communicate with their family.

Being a Birthday Hero is
a fun way to give money
to a cause close to my
heart. It is also a way
to promote awareness
of speech therapy and
Cambodia.

On my 30th birthday, I
want to have a meaningful
celebration. To have my
friends and family to
donate to people in need
instead of them buying
me birthday presents.
DAY WITHOUT
SPEECH
In 2015, we piloted Day Without Speech. It is a fundraising
challenge where participants give up speaking for couple of hours
and communicate through other methods, such as hand gestures,
facial expressions, writing or the use of technology.

UNSEEN,
UNHEARD
Unseen, Unheard was the biggest campaign for speech therapy
ever attempted in Cambodia. It was set out to gather and share
stories of children who were silenced by a communication difficulty.
Srey Ran is one of them.
Srey Ran has Down syndrome and her family thought that she
would never go to school. But with the help of speech therapy,
it has given Srey Ran the confidence to communicate with her
family and friends. Shes now at school, learning for the first time
along with her friends.
