Do you know someone else who may be interested too? For every referral of a colleague you make to Prescript, a year’s worth of life-saving clean water will be donated to Ethiopian families in the Tigray region. Families here are not only caught in a humanitarian crisis at the moment, but they also don’t have access to this basic life necessity even in peaceful times. See our Impact Page for more information.
