1 Million Days Of Clean Water - Our Giving Goal

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.

For 2020 and beyond, our giving goal is to provide 1 million days of access to clean water for families in Ethiopia.

You’re part of making it happen by working with Prescript. Thank you.


Our Giving Stories

Here at Prescript Recruitment, we embed giving in what we do to create a habit of doing good.

To reach our goal of 1 million days of access to clean water we link our everyday business activities with our giving goal. This means every time we help a doctor, hospital or practice, we get a bit closer to reaching our giving goal!

Here some examples of our giving stories:

✔️ When we place a doctor in a locum position in regional Australia, we give a year of access to life-saving clean water to a family in Ethiopia.

✔️ When we place a doctor in a permanent position in regional Australia, we give 20 people access to clean water for a year.

✔️ When a doctor refers another doctor to us, we give a year of access to life-saving clean water.

✔️ When a doctor registers as a new candidate with Prescript, we give a year of access to life-saving clean water.

✔️ When a doctor completes a reference for another doctor, we give a month of access to life-saving clean water to families in Ethiopia.

Together, with you, we are making a difference through our everyday work.


Our Giving Goal

For 2020 and beyond, our giving goal is to provide 1 million days of access to clean water for families living in poverty in rural Ethiopia.

The projects we are supporting fund 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.

At Prescript we’re known for helping solve the regional doctor shortage in Australia.

Every day we’re focused on two clear outcomes - Helping hospitals find doctors that create departments and clinics that run better, have more capacity and less stress. And placing Doctors in jobs that leave them feeling highly valued, rewarded and, most importantly, enjoying what they do.

We believe that when we get these two crucial things right, it has a huge impact on the regional doctor shortage and the healthcare of communities across Australia.
