How Your Qurbani Helps in Djibouti
Djibouti: Poverty at the Gateway to the Red Sea
Djibouti, a tiny nation of just over 1 million people at the mouth of the Red Sea, is strategically important but deeply impoverished. Despite hosting several international military bases, over 40% of the population lives in extreme poverty. The Muslim-majority population (94%) faces chronic food insecurity exacerbated by one of the harshest climates on earth - average temperatures exceed 40°C for five months of the year, and rainfall averages less than 130mm annually.
Djibouti hosts over 35,000 refugees from Somalia, Ethiopia, Yemen, and Eritrea. The Arta, Ali Sabieh, and Dikhil regions are among the most deprived, with pastoralist Afar and Issa Somali communities facing recurring drought that has decimated their livestock - their primary source of income and food.
Malnutrition rates are alarming: 33% of children under five are stunted. Access to clean water remains a critical challenge, with only 65% of the population having access to improved water sources.
Qurbani Operations
At £90 for sheep/goat and £1,100 for cow, our Djiboutian team operates in Djibouti City, Arta, Ali Sabieh, and the refugee communities. Animals are sourced from the established livestock markets and from cross-border trade with Ethiopia and Somalia. Each animal is inspected for health and Shariah compliance by experienced Muslim butchers.
Distribution Priorities
- Somali and Ethiopian refugees in camps and urban settlements
- Yemeni refugee families who have fled across the Red Sea
- Pastoralist communities in the interior who have lost livestock to drought
- Urban poor in Djibouti City's informal settlements (Balbala district)
- Orphaned children and vulnerable elderly
Eid al-Adha holds deep significance for Djiboutians. For pastoral communities that have lost their animals to drought, receiving Qurbani meat reconnects them to their cultural identity. For refugees far from home, it brings the comfort of an Eid celebration.

Visit our evidence page for full details.
Prolonged drought cycles have devastated pastoral communities and worsened food insecurity. Our teams source animals from established livestock markets, supporting local farmers while ensuring Shariah-compliant quality. For drought-affected families, Qurbani meat provides critical protein that they cannot otherwise access.
Livestock is relatively affordable in the region due to local farming traditions. Our established relationships with local suppliers help maintain competitive pricing. The lower cost does not mean lower quality - every animal meets strict Shariah requirements.
Our local teams distribute to: families in IDP (internally displaced persons) camps, drought-affected pastoral communities who have lost their own livestock, orphan-headed households, the elderly and disabled without family support, and communities in remote rural areas with limited access to food aid. Each distribution event is documented with photographs.
