“Prescript believes that every business has the power to change lives by giving back through its everyday business activities.”
Each time we help a doctor with the next step in their career, we also contribute towards improving health outcomes for people living in poverty overseas.

Our Giving Goal
“1 million days of access to clean water for people living in poverty in rural Ethiopia”
Our giving goal was to provide 1 million days of access to clean water for families living in poverty in rural Ethiopia.
The projects we supported funded the construction of hand-dug wells in the Ethiopian province of Tigray. Why is access to clean water so important?
💧 The provision of clean and hygienic water will reduce a woman’s average daily water collection time. Without a well, women can spend 3 hours every day collecting about 20 litres (for her whole family) of polluted water from sources often shared with defecating livestock.
💧 Effectively reduces children mortality rate. Up to 20% of children under the age of 5 die from water borne diseases.
💧 The projects also include training & education in health and sanitation matters as well as family planning.
💧 A well allows girls to receive a proper education instead of spending their time collecting water.
💧 The whole family benefit from having access to clean water - meals can be prepared earlier, improved sanitary practices also mean less illness and fewer missed school days.
We set our giving goal through our partnership with the Global Giving Business initiative, B1G1.
B1G1 is a social enterprise and non-profit organization with a mission to create a world full of giving. Unlike conventional giving models, B1G1 helps small and medium-sized businesses achieve more social impact by embedding giving activities into everyday business operations and creating unique giving stories. Every business transaction (and as a result, the business’ day-to-day activity) can impact lives.
“As a B1G1 Business For Good, we incorporate purpose and meaning to our business through giving. Together, we are making a great difference in the world by doing what we do every day.”
