Unlimit Health, formerly known as the SCI Foundation, was one of EA NZ’s partner charities from 2016 to 2025.

As part of our annual review process, we made the difficult decision to wind down our partnership with Unlimit Health. This choice wasn’t made lightly, and several factors contributed to the decision. You can find more information here, but two key considerations were that:

• GiveWell no longer includes any deworming programmes amongst their Top Charities

• Donations received for Unlimit Health trended down between 2020 and 2025, while the administrative costs of maintaining the partnership remained relatively constant

To be clear, we still think Unlimit Health is a fantastic charity that does valuable work. Several charity evaluators still recommend them, and there is plenty of room for reasonable disagreement. While we believe winding up the partnership was the best decision for EA NZ, individual donors may wish to continue supporting Unlimit Health directly. However, please note that donations made directly to Unlimit Health are not eligible for a donation tax credit in New Zealand.

If you’d like to give tax-deductibly, another option would be to donate to Evidence Action’s Deworm the World initiative. Like Unlimit Health, Deworm the World is no longer a GiveWell Top Charity. However, we’re retaining our partnership with them for the time being, due to their connection with Evidence Action's other programmes, among other factors.
