Unlimit Health is an international organisation working to end parasitic disease.
We work closely with affected countries, sharing evidence and expertise to eliminate preventable infections. Our purpose is to support people to live healthy lives, free from limiting disease.

Say hello to Unlimit Health!
Unlimit Health – formerly known as SCI Foundation – has launched an ambitious five-year strategy that sets out a new direction for improving health equity through tackling parasitic disease, such as schistosomiasis and soil-transmitted helminthiasis. It follows a deep analysis of the changing development and global health context.
The strategy acknowledges that progress made over the past decade – including on elimination of parasitic infections – has been compromised by the Covid-19 pandemic and significant reductions in funding. It builds on the need for system resilience and equity at the heart of development efforts, and the shift in emphasis away from a funder-led agenda to one driven by local ownership and sustainability considerations.
What we do
We work in partnership with ministries of health in endemic countries, supporting sustainable country-owned solutions that eliminate preventable parasitic infections.
How we do it
We do this through technical and financial support to ministries of health, in line with their strategies and plans, to strengthen health systems within affected communities.
How to support our work
There are many ways to support Unlimit Health. You can donate by card, by bank-transfer, donate shares or cryptocurrency, leave a legacy in your will or fundraise for us.

Transparent
We are transparent in our decision making and our actions and ensure that decisions are informed by credible evidence. We acknowledge the fundamental role or transparency in engendering trust, collaboration, and accountability.

Monitoring & evaluation
Monitoring and evaluation surveys are one of the main tools ministries of health (MoH) use to assess the quality and impact of treatment programmes against parasitic worms. We support MoH with the planning, delivery, and analysis of these surveys, providing critical information to enable programmes to ensure treatment for every person in need.

Success stories
Our Big Give Christmas 2022 appeal highlighted a project in Uganda where people in six communities affected by schistosomiasis are devising ways to improve access to safe water and sanitation, and so reduce the transmission of the disease.
Maymuna lives in Uganda. The water from the river available to her and her community is infested by parasitic worms, impacting their health and daily lives. We work in partnership with ministries of health to deliver treatment to young women like Maymuna.
