Make a Difference

Eid Al-Adha is for everybody to enjoy, so we've got a small ask: make this a reality with your Qurbani.

Give the blessing of Qurbani to families in Malawi and Ethiopia by donating the meat of a sheep or goat. Each £75 animal will be delivered to some of the poorest families amongst our students, as well as families facing poverty in the surrounding community.

There are millions of poor families around the world. The reason for our attention in Malawi and Ethiopia is that they've both experienced particular devastation in recent months.

'The first thing to be done on this day (first day of Eid Al-Adha) is to pray; and after returning from the prayer we slaughter our sacrifices. Whoever does so, he acted according to our Sunnah.'

Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), Sahih Bukhari

1 in 3 people in Malawi face extreme hunger

With 70% of the population already living beneath the poverty line, Storm Freddy has only made matters worse.

Storm Freddy struck in March and became one of the world’s longest lasting storms. It left a trail of devastation in its wake, sweeping through villages, destroying houses and burying people in mud.

Despite launching our programme in Malawi over 2 years ago, the families in Malawi need your Qurbani to give them a reason to smile now more than ever.

5.4 million

Malawians are chronically food insecure

78%

Ethiopians earn less than $2 per day

Ethiopia is still recovering from a seven-year drought - the worst in over fifty years

It’s resulted in over 20 million Ethiopians facing devastating food insecurity, including 3.9 million children.

Despite launching our programme in Ethiopia in April 2021, there’s still a lot of work to do.

Don’t let your generosity and support end with Ramadan. With millions of families on the brink of starvation, your Qurbani helps Ethiopians participate in Eid Al-Adha celebrations.
