This topic is about a person in England who is trying to help a friend’s sister in Zimbabwe. The sister has a colostomy and is having trouble getting the necessary drainable ileostomy or colostomy bags. Here are some helpful suggestions and insights that were shared:

1. Reach out to charitable organizations that specialize in redistributing donated ostomy supplies to places in need, such as developing countries or areas affected by disasters. For example, a foundation in the Highlands of Scotland was able to offer immediate help and provided direct contact information.

2. Friends of Ostomates Worldwide–USA (FOWUSA) is another organization that was contacted successfully. They have arranged to ship the needed drainable ileostomy bags to Zimbabwe.

3. The support and quick responses from the community played a crucial role in addressing the supply shortage.
