The Qurbani 2025 impact report shows what happened when one act of worship crossed borders: more than 200,000 people in 27 countries received meat through HDF’s Dhul Hijjah 1446 campaign.
Behind that total were families gathering for Eid in refugee camps, crowded neighborhoods, drought-affected villages and communities living through conflict. Each distribution began with the trust of a donor and ended with food shared in dignity.
Qurbani commemorates Prophet Ibrahim’s (peace be upon him) devotion and submission to Allah. Through the campaign, One Ummah, Qurbani For All. Together We Sacrifice, that devotion became practical care for families across the Ummah.

Palestine: care amid restricted access
In Gaza, fresh meat distribution was not possible during the campaign because of severe access and logistical barriers. HDF coordinated shelf-stable canned Qurbani meat for distribution once routes reopened. At the time of the report, this was prepared support awaiting safe access, not a completed handover to families.
In the West Bank, checkpoints and restrictions complicated movement. Even so, local partners arranged 91 frozen sheep shares for phased delivery within 40 days of Eid, reaching 455 families.
Across the Middle East
Qurbani reached displaced families, refugees and communities facing prolonged economic hardship:
- Jordan: Frozen sheep and buffalo meat reached 455 Palestinian and Syrian refugees.
- Turkey: Fresh meat reached 3,000 Syrian refugees.
- Syria: Sheep meat reached more than 15,000 people.
- Yemen: Sheep and cow shares supported 3,600 people.
- Iraq and Afghanistan: Beef and lamb reached more than 1,742 people combined.
Across Asia
In India, Bangladesh and Kashmir, the distributions helped families take part in an Eid tradition that financial hardship and displacement had placed beyond reach.
- India: More than 12,600 people received Qurbani meat.
- Bangladesh: Sheep and cow meat reached 3,600 Rohingya refugees in Cox’s Bazar.
- Kashmir: Meat reached 161 people affected by conflict and economic instability.
Across Africa
From urban neighborhoods to displacement shelters and drought-affected communities, Qurbani brought nutritious food to families across the continent:
- Kenya: More than 9,000 pounds of meat reached 820 families across eight locations.
- Uganda and Ethiopia: Fresh meat reached 1,260 people combined.
- Somalia and Sudan: Nearly 20,000 people received meat amid displacement and conflict.
- Tanzania and Egypt: Beef and mutton reached more than 1,631 people.
- Libya, Chad, Benin, Ghana and Togo: Distributions reached 2,211 people combined.
Compassion beyond borders
The campaign also reached families in Sri Lanka, Lebanon and the United States.
- Sri Lanka and Lebanon: Fresh meat reached 434 people combined.
- United States: Halal meat packs supported 315 refugees and low-income families.
An amanah carried with care
Every Qurbani entrusted to HDF carried a religious and practical responsibility. Teams worked with local partners to follow Islamic guidelines, prepare the meat safely and prioritize people facing hunger, displacement and poverty.
The methods differed by location. Some communities received fresh meat, others frozen shares, and Gaza required shelf-stable canned meat because access was restricted. The purpose remained the same: to fulfill each donor’s Qurbani with care and help families share in the joy of Eid.
Alhamdulillah, your sacrifice became nourishment, dignity and a reminder that families across the Ummah had not been forgotten.
May Allah accept your Qurbani, multiply its reward and place barakah in your home. Jazakumu Allahu Khairan for trusting HDF with this amanah and for showing what one Ummah can make possible together.
