CABDICO Job Vacancy: Fundraising Manager - Phnom Penh, Cambodia

OIC: The Cambodia Project is an initiative working to establish speech therapy in Cambodia for people with communication and swallowing disabilities.

We launched in 2013 in partnership with CABDICO, a Cambodian disability organisation, to start the country’s first project to bring speech therapy to more than 600,000 people in Cambodia with communication and swallowing disabilities. 

We have three priority areas of work over the next five years:

• We will raise awareness amongst all levels of community, as speech therapy is an entirely new concept in Cambodia. 
• We will build on our pilot program by training more health and education professionals, refining the techniques that are used and learning from the professionals putting these skills into practice.
• We will advocate directly to the United Nations and the Cambodian government for speech therapy to be funded as a universally accessible, locally led service.

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.
