How Your Qurbani Helps in Ethiopia
Ethiopia: A Nation in Crisis
Ethiopia, home to over 120 million people and one of Africa's largest Muslim populations (approximately 35 million), faces an overlapping series of crises. The conflict in Tigray, which began in 2020, displaced over 2 million people. Ethnic violence in Amhara and Oromia regions has added millions more to the displacement tally. Severe drought across the Horn of Africa has devastated pastoral communities.
Over 20 million Ethiopians are food insecure. In the Somali and Afar regions, Muslim communities face particularly severe challenges: climate change has destroyed traditional pastoral livelihoods, and access to humanitarian aid is uneven. Malnutrition rates among children under five are alarming.
Qurbani Operations in Ethiopia
At £100 for sheep/goat and £1,100 for cow, our Ethiopian operations cover Addis Ababa, the Somali Region (Jijiga, Dire Dawa), Harar, and Oromia. Ethiopia's diverse livestock sector provides healthy animals for Shariah-compliant sacrifice. Fat-tailed Blackhead Somali sheep are prized for their meat quality.
Distribution Focus
- Drought-affected pastoral communities in the Somali and Afar regions
- Internally displaced families from the Tigray, Amhara, and Oromia conflicts
- Urban Muslim communities in Addis Ababa facing rising food costs
- Orphanages and madrassahs across the eastern regions
For Ethiopian Muslim communities, Eid al-Adha (known locally as Arefa) is celebrated with great enthusiasm. Your sacrifice enables families who have lost livestock to drought or displacement to participate in this sacred tradition. Every donation includes photographic feedback of the sacrifice and distribution, sent after the sacrifice.

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.
