With the generous support of donors in Qatar, Qatar Charity has launched its annual Eid al-Adha initiative in Sudan and Chad, aiming to reach the most vulnerable communities through the distribution of Udhiyah. The campaign is part of Qatar Charity’s broader seasonal efforts for 2025 (1446 AH) to bring hope and joy to those most in need around the world.
Sudan: Reaching Displaced and Affected Families
In Sudan, the initiative focuses on regions affected by conflict and displacement. Working hand in hand with local authorities and humanitarian partners, Qatar Charity is distributing meat from 160 Udhiyah to more than 1,600 beneficiaries primarily internally displaced persons, refugees, and impoverished families.
Field teams from Qatar Charity visited distribution points, taking part in the process and witnessing firsthand the impact of the campaign. Joy was evident on the faces of recipients who welcomed the aid with gratitude and warm prayers for the people of Qatar. Local officials praised the charity’s transparent and organized approach, which ensures that help reaches those who need it most.
Chad: Thousands Benefit Across the Country
Meanwhile in Chad, Qatar Charity is implementing the project across several regions including the capital, N’Djamena. The campaign will benefit over 17,640 individuals through the distribution of 105,840 kilograms of meat, sourced from 1,776 Udhiyah.
Local partners and officials in Chad commended the initiative, noting its deep impact on underserved communities and its role in bringing a sense of dignity and joy during Eid.
A Different Kind of Eid
For many of the beneficiaries, especially those in refugee camps or impoverished neighborhoods, this year’s Eid was unlike any other. The gift of meat, which many families had not tasted for months, turned their Eid into a moment of celebration.
One refugee in Chad expressed his gratitude, saying: “I never expected we’d have meat this Eid. This is a blessing from God, and we thank the people of Qatar for remembering us.”
Local leaders described the campaign as a powerful message of solidarity from Qatar, reflecting the values of compassion, generosity, and shared humanity.
Through this initiative, Qatar Charity continues to affirm its commitment to supporting vulnerable communities around the world not just with aid, but with hope.
Côte d'Ivoire
Continuing its support for those in need during Eid al-Adha in many countries around the world, Qatar Charity's team in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire, implemented Udhiyah project, bringing great joy on the "greatest of days" to needy families there. They expressed their happiness at alleviating their suffering and providing Udhiyah for themselves and their children, after they were unable to purchase Udhiyah due to the difficult economic conditions they are experiencing.
Touré Mariam, President of the Association of Widows and Deprived Women in Adjamé, said that she and her widowed sisters thank Qatar Charity and the charitable people in Qatar for providing them with meat on Eid. She added that they never expected to receive Udhiyah meat after the death of their husbands.
