How Your Qurbani Helps in Cameroon
Cameroon: Multiple Crises Converging
Cameroon faces three simultaneous humanitarian emergencies. In the Far North, Boko Haram attacks have displaced over 380,000 people and created chronic insecurity. The Anglophone crisis in the northwest and southwest regions has displaced 800,000+ people since 2017. And the country hosts over 480,000 refugees from the Central African Republic, Nigeria, and Chad.
The Muslim-majority Far North region is the poorest in Cameroon, with poverty rates exceeding 75%. Food insecurity affects 4.7 million Cameroonians, concentrated in the north and east. Infrastructure in these regions is minimal: unpaved roads, limited electricity, and healthcare facilities that are hours away from most villages.
Cameroon's Muslim community (approximately 20% of the population) is primarily located in the Far North (Maroua, Kousseri, Mokolo) and the Adamawa region (Ngaoundere, Garoua). These communities bear the brunt of both Boko Haram violence and poverty.
Qurbani Operations
At £160 for sheep/goat and £720 for cow, our Cameroonian team covers Maroua, Kousseri, Garoua, and Ngaoundere. The Fulani (Peul) pastoral communities of northern Cameroon provide excellent livestock - the indigenous Djallonke sheep and local goat breeds produce high-quality meat. Each animal is inspected for age, health, and Shariah compliance.
Distribution Priorities
- Families displaced by Boko Haram in the Far North IDP camps
- Central African refugees in camps along the eastern border
- Nigerian refugee communities near the northern border
- Rural Muslim families in extreme poverty
- Orphanages and Quranic schools in Maroua and Garoua
Cameroon's northern Muslim communities celebrate Eid al-Adha with great cultural significance. For displaced families and refugees living in camps, your Qurbani brings the spirit of Eid to people who have lost almost everything.

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.

Cameroon's Muslim population is concentrated in the Far North, North and Adamawa regions. The Far North in particular has suffered for over a decade from Boko Haram spillover from neighbouring Nigeria, recurrent flooding along the Logone River, and some of the deepest poverty in the country. Refugees from Nigeria and from the Central African Republic add further pressure on already strained communities.
Your Qurbani in Cameroon reaches families in Maroua, Garoua, Kousseri, Mokolo and refugee-hosting villages of the Far North. Distribution prioritises internally displaced Cameroonians, refugees, widows, orphans and elderly Muslims living alone.
How your Qurbani is performed in Cameroon
Animals are sourced from local Cameroonian livestock markets, supporting Cameroonian Fulani and other pastoralist families. Every animal meets the Shariah requirements: minimum one year for sheep and goats, two years for cows.
Slaughter is performed by a trained Muslim butcher facing the qiblah with the recitation of "Bismillah, Allahu Akbar" on your behalf. Meat is packaged and distributed Hand to Hand to pre-verified families.

Why Qurbani in Cameroon matters
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "The believer is not the one who eats his fill while his neighbour beside him is hungry." (Bukhari, al-Adab al-Mufrad) The Far North of Cameroon is full of hungry neighbours. Your Qurbani is a quiet refusal to eat your fill while they go without.
