We are helping others in need, but we in turn also need help to do so.
Tauranga, Bay Of Plenty
NZ has a huge number of donated Ostomy bags, and these are desperately needed in parts of Asia and the South Pacific such as Samoa and Fiji however the cost of freight to get these to the destination countries is extremely high and more so since Covid. As a trust we collect, sort and repackage these items and we pay the freight to get the stock from NZ to the destination country and we depend on donations from other ostomates and members of the public to do this. We have a website which is https://fownz.weebly.com/
More about us
We collect, sort, repack and ship donated Ostomy Appliances to Asia & the South Pacific area free of charge to needy Ostomates in these regions. In many countries Ostomates are having to use plastic shopping bags to collect body waste.

Dear Rose, Thanks for your donation as every dollar counts and we do appreciate all the help that we get. I have been to Asia and the pacific and have seen what these people have to put up with in the way of appliances and so I would also appreciate it if you could spread the word to others so that they may be able to assist as well.
