Footprints 2 Africa is preparing its first 20ft container, filled with surplus supplies collected across the UK. Thousands of ostomy products, incontinence supplies and menstrual pads will be sent to hospitals, stoma support groups, residential care homes and vulnerable people across Zimbabwe and Zambia.

Until now, we have sent aid through pallets, drums, suitcases and parcels. The amount we are now collecting means we can take the next step and send our first container. For many people, there are no supplies available to them. Some ostomates are left using makeshift alternatives because they cannot access stoma bags. Others go without incontinence products or menstrual pads. This leaves people isolated, unable to work or attend school and feeling rejected because they cannot manage their condition with dignity.

We have the supplies. We need your help to move them.

We need to raise £7,000 towards shipping, handling, clearance and delivery.

Please help us get our first container on its way.
