Our Giving Update - Business For Good

Hi - I’m Stef McLaughlin, Credentialing Quality and Giving Manager at Prescript. I am responsible for Prescript’s credentialing and quality management processes and our giving relationship with B1G1.

“B1G1 is a social enterprise and non-profit organisation with a mission to create a world full of giving. ”

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.

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.

What Is The Impact?

It can be hard to comprehend what life is like without access to basic rights such as clean water, and what a difference it can make to the health and lives of so many people.

We are delighted to announce that so far our total amount of days provided of access to life-saving clean water is 81,150 days! 👏

The projects we are supporting fund the construction of hand-dug wells in the Ethiopian province of Tigray, as well as training & education in health and sanitation matters, and family planning.

“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.”

💧 The provision of clean and hygienic water will reduce a woman’s average daily water collection time.

💧 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.

“Up to 20% of children under the age of 5 die from water-borne diseases.”

💧 Access to clean water effectively reduces child mortality rate.

💧 And means less illness and fewer missed school days.

A Word From Stef McLaughlin

You’ll be pleased to know we are tracking great with our current goal. It’s incredible being able to see the weekly impacts we are making.

I love how easy it is to work with B1G1 and generally how it makes me feel to know we are collectively making such a difference by simply coming into work.

Working with B1G1 has been the most wonderful experience. We believe that setting a giving goal aligns with Prescript’s values perfectly. It motivates us and helps bring the team together, working towards that BIG goal, and making a BIG impact.

I love this particular project because it has multi-layered impacts. It’s not only about providing clean water to people and the direct health benefits from that - the project also includes training & education in health and sanitation matters as well as family planning. There’s also a direct effect it has on females and bettering their lifestyle and education too.

I can’t wait to keep you all updated on how we are tacking. Thank you for making a difference by choosing to work Prescript.

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.

Prescript’s Giving Update And The Global Goals

View fullsize

At Prescript, we want to make sure our values flow through everything we do. That’s why every year we set a BIG giving goal with the Global Giving Business initiative, Buy1Give1 (B1G1).

“Prescript’s current BIG giving goal is to provide 10,000 days of Medical Care to children living in Indian slums.”

Your choice to work with Prescript this year has meant that 3,793 days of medical care to children in the slums of India has been provided so far. This could not have been made possible without your support, and we can’t thank you enough. Click below to find out more about Prescript’s Giving Goal on our ‘Impact’ page.

The Global Goals

We also wanted to let you know about how our giving goal is connected with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), also known as the Global Goals.

In 2015, world leaders agreed to 17 goals for a better world by 2030. These goals have the power to end poverty, fight inequality and address the urgency of climate change. Guided by the goals, it is now up to all of us, governments, businesses, civil society and the general public to work together to build a better future for everyone.

“B1G1 ties every giving and impact created to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. ”

Goal 3 – Good Health & Well-Being

Prescript is focused on Goal 3, as it relates to our BIG goal of providing 10,000 days of medical care to children in the slums of India.

Millions of children live in slums and are dying of diseases such as diarrhoea, malaria and rabies, which are caused by poor sanitation and overcrowding in shantytowns.

This means that by working and engaging with Prescript, you are not only contributing towards Prescript’s Giving Goal, you are also contributing towards the SDG. Now that’s what we call a big impact.

Prescript I Our Giving Goal Update I July 2019

Prescript’s BIG giving goal for 2019 is to provide 10,000 days of Medical Care to children living in Indian slums.

In this giving update, we wanted to let you know about our progress towards the giving goal PLUS shine a spotlight on one of the amazing charities that provide the medical care.

Giving Update

Did you know that your choice to work with Prescript has meant that 2,274 days of medical care has already been provided? Thank you!

How is this achieved? Each of Prescript’s day-to-day business activities is linked to our giving goal (such as confirming a locum assignment, referring another doctor to us or even completing a reference for a colleague).

We still have 7,500 days left to hit out goal, but with your help we will get there!

Spotlight On Helping Hand In Service

In the slums, such as Geeta Nagar, malaria and rabies are rife. Geeta Nagar, a sprawling hub, is situated in the heart of south Mumbai and has a population of over 40,000 slum dwellers. The provision of medical services helps to reduce the mortality rate and allow children to thrive under extreme conditions.

One of the organisations providing the medical checks for the children of the Geeta Nagar Slums is the Helping Hands in Service Trust.

Business For Good | Giving Goal Update I April 2019

Hello!

I have some exciting news to share! It has been a busy start to the year here at Prescript Recruitment…

As some of you know, part of my role is to manage our partnership with the Global Giving Business initiative, Buy1Give1.

Last year, in 2018, we reached our amazing goal of paying for a doctor’s salary in Western Kenya for an entire year. For 2019, we wanted to think bigger!

Our Impact 2019. What’s Next?

Through 2019 and beyond, our BIG goal is to provide 10,000 days of Medical Care to children in the slums of India.

To date, we have provided: 1,162 days!

This could not have been made possible without all of your support. By working and engaging with Prescript over the past few months, you have directly impacted Prescript’s Giving Goal and provided medical care to children living in desperate poverty – Thank You.

On a personal level, this is incredibly important to me, and I look forward to seeing our contributions grow over the coming months.

To follow our progress, click below to take a look at our Impact page.

Global Impact

We Are

An Impact Driven

Company

It’s More Than Just Business

At Prescript, our focus is to ensure that Australian rural and regional communities have access to the healthcare that they deserve. This motivates me on a day to day basis, and through our involvement with B1G1, we do this on a global level too. Here is some more information on the projects we are supporting with your help.

The provision of medical check-ups and appointments to children living in slums helps to reduce the mortality rate. Millions of children live in terrible conditions and are dying of diseases such as diarrhoea, malaria and rabies which are caused by poor sanitation and overcrowding.

Shikshan Gram Shelter for Homeless Children provides basic living needs and education for over 100 orphaned and homeless Indian children. Through the donations and service paid by volunteers they give hope to the kids, sending them to school and improving their living standards.

The following organisations will be delivering the medical check-ups:

• Shikshan Gram (shelter for homeless village children)

• Helping Hands in Service (for slum children of Geeta Nagar Slums)

• Arts of Living (for slum children of Dharavi)

• HSNC Board (for educating slum children in their school for under-resourced children)

• Dreamz Home (for educating and nurturing homeless street children)

• Cancer Patients Aid Association (for educating and nurturing homeless street children).

“Your ongoing support is truly appreciated, and I look forward to giving you our next update!”

To be a part of this ongoing commitment, contact Prescript to see how you can contribute through one of our many day-to-day business activities.
