How Your Qurbani Helps in Burkina Faso
Burkina Faso: The Sahel's Fastest-Growing Crisis
Burkina Faso is experiencing one of the world's fastest-growing displacement crises. Since 2019, armed group violence has displaced over 2 million people - roughly 10% of the population. Over 40% of the country's territory is outside government control, and humanitarian access is severely restricted in many areas. Food insecurity affects 3.5 million people, with pockets of famine-like conditions in the Sahel and Centre-Nord regions.
Burkina Faso is approximately 65% Muslim, and the conflict disproportionately affects Muslim communities in the north and east. Entire villages have been emptied by attacks. Markets have closed. Livestock - the primary asset for pastoral Peul communities - have been stolen or abandoned during displacement.
The crisis receives minimal international media coverage compared to its severity. UN agencies have repeatedly warned that Burkina Faso risks becoming the “next Syria” if the displacement trend continues unchecked.
Qurbani Operations
At £145 for sheep/goat and £720 for cow, our Burkinabe team operates in Ouagadougou, Kaya, Dori, and Fada N'Gourma. Despite security challenges, our local staff maintain access to displacement sites and host communities through established community relationships built over years of operation.
Animals are sourced from markets in the more stable southern regions, ensuring supply chain integrity. Every animal is inspected for Shariah compliance before slaughter.
Distribution Priorities
- Internally displaced families in camps and host communities across the Sahel region
- Communities under blockade where armed groups restrict food supplies
- Pastoral Peul families who have lost their livestock to theft or displacement
- Orphaned children in displacement shelters
- Elderly and disabled people who cannot access humanitarian distributions
For displaced Burkinabe families celebrating Eid far from home, your Qurbani is a lifeline of nutrition and a reminder that the Ummah stands with them.

Visit our evidence page for full details.
Eid al-Adha (known locally as Tabaski in many West African countries) is one of the most important celebrations. Muslim communities gather for Eid prayers, share meals, and distribute meat to neighbours. For families living in poverty, receiving Qurbani meat is often the highlight of their year and the only time their children taste fresh meat.
We use locally sourced sheep, goats, and cows depending on availability and tradition. All animals meet minimum Islamic requirements: sheep and goats must be at least 1 year old, and cows must be at least 2 years old. Animals are inspected by our teams for health, weight, and fitness before purchase. Local sourcing supports the regional agricultural economy.
Distribution targets the most vulnerable community members: orphans and child-headed households, widows and single-parent families, the elderly without family support, displaced families fleeing conflict or climate disasters, and people with disabilities who cannot work. Our local team in each country identifies beneficiaries through community leaders and mosque networks.
