SCI Foundation is now Unlimit Health. Learn more about what the change means for our ongoing efforts to eliminate neglected tropical diseases
Our programme partners are doing an amazing job, and there are still more countries that need support. With more funding, we’re confident we can help reach even more people.
In 2022/23 we supported treatments for 50 million people at risk from parasitic disease. In 2023/2024, we plan on supporting treatments for around 75 million people in twelve partner countries. So at a cost of around 0.33p per person treated, your donation, however small, can make a real impact on people’s health, education and quality of life.
£50 can ensure that 150 people have access to deworming treatment and can live lives unlimited by preventable parasitic disease. Donate now.
Only 44% of people needing treatment globally were treated in 2020.
131.2 million people at risk from parasitic disease did not receive treatment, in part as a result of difficulties caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.
We are now working hard with our country partners to close this treatment gap. This includes broadening access to treatment to include groups not adequately covered by mass treatment campaigns, such as pre-school children and women of reproductive age.
Even expanding access to treatment for people who currently miss out will not be enough on its own to achieve elimination of parasitic worm disease. To address this, we have been working on other key drivers of parasitic disease, such as unsafe water contact and transmission between animals and humans.
£42 could keep people safe from contaminated water while they earn their living from fishing.*
