OASIS Project, speech therapy, global volunteering, and real impact in the DR and beyond

Supporting children with language difficulties in Dominican Republic and other countries. The OASIS Project combines social impact and international professional training.

Our Project

What is the OASIS Project?

OASIS Project is a non-profit initiative dedicated to empowering children in Dominican Republic and beyond through inclusive speech and language therapy, education, and cross-cultural collaboration. By bringing together professional therapists and international volunteers, we ensure that every child—regardless of background—has access to communication tools that unlock opportunity and personal growth.

Through a unique blend of therapy and cultural exchange, OASIS Project promotes inclusion, compassion, and transformation for children, families, and future professionals alike.

Our mission

To provide children from vulnerable communities in the Dominican Republic with free, high-quality speech and language therapy while mentoring students in culturally responsive, hands-on service. We believe communication is a right—not a privilege—and through the OASIS Project, we build bridges between people, cultures, and futures.

Our vision

We envision a world where all children, regardless of their location or ability, are heard, valued, and empowered. OASIS Project aims to become a leading model for inclusive, global collaboration—where education, therapy, and cultural awareness come together to support lasting change in underserved communities.

Our services at OASIS Project

OASIS Project offers three interconnected services, designed to create long-term impact for both the children we serve and the professionals we train.

OASIS-Project-2

Free speech and language therapy for children

We offer free speech and language assessments and therapy to children ages 2 to 12 with disabilities in underserved communities. Our interventions are culturally tailored and family-centered, helping children improve communication, confidence, and academic performance. Every child we help becomes a stronger citizen with a voice and a future.
OASIS-Project-3

International volunteer program

Students and professionals from around the world join OASIS Project each summer for a four-week clinical immersion. Participants gain supervised clinical hours, cultural experience, and the chance to make a real difference while supporting Dominican children with communication needs. This experience is both life-changing and career-defining.
OASIS-Project-4

Support and partnerships

We welcome donors, institutions, and collaborators to help sustain and expand our mission. Support can include financial contributions, educational materials, logistical assistance, or hosting volunteers. Together, we make therapy accessible, inclusive, and life-changing for the children who need it most.
OASIS-Project-5

Real impact, real children: our growing reach

Last year, OASIS Project served 320 children in Santo Domingo and Dajabón, far surpassing our initial target of 100. This overwhelming response highlights the urgent need for accessible speech therapy in the Dominican Republic—and fuels our commitment to grow. Through collaboration, compassion, and consistent support, we aim to reach more than 500 children in our next cycle.

With your help, we will continue creating inclusive futures—child by child.
