Bags of Hope - Urgent Ostomy Supply Drive

Donation protected
Imagine having life-saving surgery..
but no access to the medical supplies you need to survive. For thousands of people across Africa living with a stoma, this is the harsh reality.
A stoma is a surgically created opening in the body, often necessary after cancer, injury, or illness. Without essential supplies, these individuals are forced to live in isolation, pain and shame. Many patients are sent home with 1 - 3 pouches for an entire month. Without proper supplies, they face severe infections, skin irritation, and social exclusion—all of which worsen their quality of life.

Footprints to Africa is UK-based, currently going through registration and in partnership with the South African Society of Ostomates (SASS). Our mission is simple: To restore dignity and improve the lives of ostomates across Africa by ensuring they have access to the necessary stoma care products.

Footprints 2 Africa works tirelessly to deliver crucial ostomy supplies to Ostomates in Africa.
Right now, our most pressing need is to fund the shipping that will get these life-changing supplies where they're needed most.

We invite you to partner with us in this vital mission. Your generous contribution, no matter the size, will directly impact lives and bring much-needed relief and enable people to rejoin society, return to work, and live with dignity.

Please Share Our Story: The more people who know, the greater the impact. Help us spread the word and bring in more supporters.

Let's leave Footprints that Matter. Together, we can build a future where no ostomate is left behind—a future where dignity is a right, not a privilege.
