Qatar Charity’s Dhul-Hijjah Campaign to Aid 850,000 People in 40 Countries

Doha: Under the theme “The Greatest Days,” Qatar Charity (QC) has launched its Dhul-Hijjah campaign for the year 1446 (2025), aiming to implement a wide range of humanitarian and development projects, and distribute sacrificial meat (Adahi) in 40 countries, including Qatar.

According to Qatar News Agency, Chief Communication Officer at Qatar Charity Ahmad Yousef Fakhroo urged the public to embrace the spiritual significance of Dhul-Hijjah’s first ten days, a period deeply revered in Islam. He cited a Hadith of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him): “There are no days in which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allah than these ten days.”

Fakhroo called on philanthropists to compete in good deeds, hasten their generosity, and support the “Greatest Days” campaign. The goal, he emphasized, is to reach as many beneficiaries as possible through the Adahi (sacrificial meat) distribution project and diverse humanitarian and development initiatives. He expressed unwavering confidence in the Qatari community’s enduring charitable spirit, which continues to support humanitarian causes across generations, especially during sacred times.

Qatar Charity’s Adahi project, supported by generous donors, plans to distribute meat from around 45,300 sheep and cattle across 40 countries, including Qatar, reaching over 850,000 people in need. In Qatar, Qatar Charity’s Adahi project will distribute sacrificial meat from 4,000 sheep to around 30,000 individuals, spreading the joy of Eid.

Beneficiaries include sponsored orphans and their families, low-income households, farm laborers, and expatriate communities. Distribution will be carried out through Al Meera, in cooperation with expatriate communities. Outside of Qatar, the meat of nearly 41,300 sacrifices is expected to be distributed to approximately 826,000 people in 39 countries across Africa, Asia, and Europe, with a focus on crisis-affected countries and regions such as Syria, Palestine, including Gaza, Sudan, Yemen, and Somalia.

Qatar Charity’s Udhiyah distribution will also take place in Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Kosovo, Nepal, Nigeria, Ghana, The Gambia, Palestine, Syria, Tanzania, Niger, Sri Lanka, Senegal, Ethiopia, Indonesia, India, Lebanon, South Africa, Malaysia, Yemen, Chad, Somalia, Burkina Faso, Turkey, Tunisia, Kyrgyzstan, Mali, Ivory Coast, Jordan, Egypt, Sudan, Kenya, Djibouti, Mauritania, Togo, Benin, and Burundi.

Beyond Udhiyah, “The Greatest Days” campaign invites contributions to broader relief efforts, including food baskets with essential supplies for malnourished children and impoverished families. Aligned with UN Sustainable Development Goals to eradicate poverty and hunger, aid is expected to be distributed in Somalia, Chad, Kenya, Pakistan, Sudan, Ivory Coast, and Yemen, in addition to delivering aid to Rohingya and Sudanese refugees.

“The Greatest Days” campaign also seeks support for development projects, including water and economic empowerment projects, which will benefit needy families in Nigeria, Sri Lanka, Kosovo, Bangladesh, Gambia, Niger, Nigeria, Chad, Syria, Senegal, Somalia, Burkina Faso, Albania, Tunisia, Jordan, Morocco, Ghana, Kenya, and Pakistan.
