Who we are
Our vision is a world free of preventable disease, in which everyone everywhere can reach their full potential.

We were founded in 2002 with a £20m grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and started life at Imperial College London as the SchistosomiasisControl Initiative.

The SCIF Foundation has consistently ranked as one of the most cost-effective non-profit initiatives globally and has received significant funding from the UK and US governments, and other funders and philanthropic investors.

In 2019 we became an independent organisation, and the SCI Foundation continues to work across multiple sectors in numerous countries in Sub-Saharan Africa to deliver effective and robust health programmes that have a lasting impact.

Working in partnership with Governments, the SCI Foundation supports and facilitates public health programmes that reduce the impact of preventable diseases like schistosomiasis and soil-transmitted helminthiasis.

We provide technical and financial supportto Ministries of Health, in line with their own strategies and plans, to enhance sustainability and strengthen health systems within countries affected by these diseases.

We work to scale up their government-implemented deworming programmes by providing advisorysupport and conducting research and analysis on the outcomes.

To date, our team has supported up to 60% of all global schistosomiasis treatments being delivered annually and we are broadening our reach to coordinate with health programmes for other preventable diseases, as well as supporting disease prevention measuressuch as water, sanitation and hygiene and the management of the impacts of these diseases on individuals.

It is an exciting time as SCI Foundation now looks to support the disease elimination targets set by the World Health Organization, while contributing to the strengthening of health systems and helping to improve health equity.
