Wow - we have reached our first BIG milestone!

One hundred thousand days of access to safe drinking water for rural communities in Ethiopia.

◾️ This is such an enormous first step towards our giving goal, and it feels incredible to be able to give back to those communities that need it the most.

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

◾️ It is with thanks to our doctors, hospitals and practices who have made this happen.

Our Giving Stories

We link our day to day business activities to our giving goal of providing families access to clean water in rural Ethiopia.

When the following things happen at Prescript, we give access to life-saving clean water:

✔️ When a hospital or practice confirms a doctor in a locum or permanent position in regional Australia

✔️ When a doctor refers another doctor to us

✔️ When a doctor registers as a new candidate with Prescript

✔️ When a doctor completes a reference for another doctor

✔️ When a hospital or practice agrees to work with Prescript on a long-term vacancy

Hand-Dug Wells – Life-Changing!

◾️ The projects we are supporting fund the construction of hand-dug wells in the Ethiopian province of Tigray. These hand-dug village wells were designed in Australia in the 1990s, and the construction is currently carried out by the Ethiopian non-government organisation, the Relief Society of Tigray (REST).

◾️ Before the intervention of this project, whole villages were sharing open and unprotected water with their livestock animals. As a result, the health of the people within these villages was deteriorating, and they were getting very sick. Their sickness prevented them from being able to create a happy life for themselves. Children were unable to attend school, and adults were unable to work and provide for their families.

◾️ UNICEF has stated an estimated 42 million people in Ethiopia still do not have access to safe water. We want to change that.

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.
