We envision a world in which all at-risk people are healthy and free of intestinal worms so they can develop to their full potential.
Our work focuses on three pillars:
Country Support
We support and build the capacity of national STH programs to ensure effective and efficient delivery of interventions.
Partnerships & Advocacy
We build consensus among a broad group of stakeholders and seek to minimize duplication of efforts in advancing STH interventions.
Technical Leadership
We provide scientific leadership to advocate for evidence-based approaches for the control of intestinal worm infections.
Who We Are
Children Without Worms, a program of the Task Force for Global Health, that aims to accomplish the vision of a world free of intestinal worms, so that communities may thrive and develop to their full potential. Children Without Worms works closely with the World Health Organization, pharmaceutical donors, non governmental organizations, national implementing partners, and private-public coalitions. Children Without Worms’ strategy transitioned from one of drug donation, to country engagement, partnerships and advocacy, and technical leadership.
Our Vision
We envision a world in which all at-risk children are healthy and free of intestinal worms so they may thrive and develop to their full potential.
Our Mission
To enhance the health and development of communities by eliminating the morbidity associated with intestinal worm infections.
Our Purpose
We believe that a world free of the morbidity from intestinal worms is possible. By building on existing knowledge, goodwill, and generosity, we are committed to build the capacity of global health programs to reach this goal. The primary tenets of our strategy are fueled by integrity, serving as a catalyst for collaboration and collective action to participate in the strengthening of national soil-transmitted helminthiasis (STH) programs, and responsiveness and flexibility to the needs of the global STH program.
Our Impact
As a non-governmental organization with non-state official actor status, we work closely alongside other non-governmental organizations, funding agencies, governmental organizations, and the World Health Organization, among whom we are well recognized for our first-hand knowledge of the challenges faced in STH control.
We acknowledge the critical support of our core funding partners:
