How Your Qurbani Helps in Mali
Mali: Crisis in the Sahel
Mali, a 95% Muslim nation, has been in crisis since 2012. Armed group activity, political instability, and the withdrawal of international peacekeeping forces have created a volatile security situation. Over 400,000 Malians are internally displaced, and 7.5 million people face food insecurity, representing over one-third of the population.
The crisis has hit hardest in central and northern Mali, where communities face not only insecurity but also the effects of climate change. The Sahel is warming 1.5 times faster than the global average, destroying traditional agricultural and pastoral livelihoods. Inter-community violence over shrinking resources has added another layer of displacement.
Qurbani Operations
At £140 for sheep/goat and £600 for cow, our Malian operations cover Bamako, Segou, Mopti, and Sikasso. Animals are sourced from the Peul pastoral communities who are the traditional livestock herders of the region. This purchasing supports the pastoral economy while ensuring high-quality Shariah-compliant animals.
Distribution Priorities
- Displaced families in camps around Bamako, Mopti, and Segou
- Communities in the conflict-affected north where humanitarian access is limited
- Pastoral families who have lost their livestock to drought or theft
- Orphaned children and vulnerable elderly in both urban and rural settings
Eid al-Adha (known as Tabaski in Mali) is celebrated with enormous cultural significance. For families displaced by violence, receiving Qurbani meat reconnects them to their traditions and provides vital nutrition during a period of extreme vulnerability.

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.

Mali is one of the epicentres of the wider Sahel crisis. A combination of insurgency, displacement, drought and weakening state services has driven over 7 million Malians into acute food insecurity. The 2022 and 2023 political transitions, combined with the withdrawal of international missions, have made aid delivery harder. The need has not shrunk. The world's attention has.
Your Qurbani in Mali reaches families in Bamako, Mopti, Segou, Gao and Timbuktu. Distribution prioritises internally displaced families, widows, orphans and Malians whose villages have been emptied by insurgency.
How your Qurbani is performed in Mali
Animals are sourced from local Malian livestock markets, supporting Malian pastoralist families whose herds have been depleted by drought and insecurity. 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 Mali matters in 2026
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "He is not one of us who does not show mercy to our young and respect to our elderly." (Tirmidhi) Mali's children are growing up in displacement camps. Mali's elderly are often the last guardians of villages that have been emptied by insurgency.
When you give your Qurbani in Mali, you are placing a meal in front of a family the world has largely stopped paying attention to. That is mercy in its purest form.
