Unlimit Health

I recently read an article about the ongoing conflicts in Sudan and Yemen and was shocked by the numbers. I covered this in a previous email when we gave to Radio Dabanga but I felt compelled to look for another charity working in these areas, given how much funding is needed.

The truth is though, the more I scrolled through websites and Reddit threads, the more it became clear that finding reputable charities in these areas was incredibly hard. Part of the reason we gave to a radio station rather than an aid charity is because information is not bound by physical means. Aid often can't get where it needs to; information can.

All this is to say, it reminded me of a key Tithe ethos that if we can't verify where our money is going, we won't give to the charity. So this month, I went through lists of highly-rated charities and found one that stood out - Unlimit Health.

Here's a little about them:

Unlimit Health brings cost‑effective, high‑impact solutions to communities burdened by parasitic worm infections. In 2023–24 alone, their work supported the delivery of 28 million treatments, reaching 19 million people across eight countries—tackling diseases like schistosomiasis and soil-transmitted helminths that deeply impair child development, school attendance, and long-term health. 

What makes Unlimit Health so efficient is their partnership-first model: rather than establish costly local branches, they embed within existing health systems—working directly with ministries of health to provide technical guidance, monitoring, and capacity building. GiveWell estimates that Unlimit Health can treat a child for approximately $0.40, with coverage rates around 85%, surpassing WHO’s 75% benchmark. 

For full transparency, these two paragraphs were aided by AI because it's far better at synthesising information than I am! 

Having been doing this for a number of years now though, those numbers really stood out to me, and reading about how parasitic infections are far less treated than other diseases, they felt like a very good option for this month's donation.
