How Your Qurbani Helps in Tanzania
Qurbani in Tanzania
Tanzania is one of the most affordable Qurbani destinations worldwide at just £50 for sheep/goat and £600 for cow. Despite Tanzania's relative stability compared to its neighbours, over 26% of Tanzanians live below the poverty line, with significantly higher rates in rural Muslim communities along the coast and in the semi-autonomous island of Zanzibar.
Tanzania's Muslim population (approximately 35% of 60 million people) is concentrated in the coastal regions, Zanzibar, and urban centres like Dar es Salaam. These communities face economic marginalisation, with lower access to formal employment and healthcare compared to other demographics. Protein deficiency is common, particularly among children in rural fishing and farming villages.
Operations and Distribution
Our Tanzanian team operates across Dar es Salaam, Zanzibar, Tanga, and Lindi. Sheep and goats are sourced from local Maasai and Sukuma pastoral communities, supporting their livelihoods while ensuring healthy, Shariah-compliant animals. The warm coastal climate means animals are typically lean and produce excellent quality meat.
Who Receives Your Qurbani
- Muslim fishing communities on the coast affected by declining catches
- Rural families in Zanzibar living in poverty despite the tourism economy
- Orphanages and madrassahs across coastal Tanzania
- Elderly Muslims without family support networks
At £50 per Qurbani, a donation of £250 provides five full sacrifices, feeding approximately 30-50 families. Tanzania is ideal for donors wanting to maximise the number of families reached or for giving multiple Qurbanis on behalf of loved ones.

Tanzania has a Muslim population of over 20 million people. The Swahili coast, the islands of Zanzibar and Pemba, and parts of the central and western regions are home to long-established Muslim communities. While Tanzania has seen real economic growth over the past two decades, deep pockets of poverty remain, particularly in rural coastal areas, on the islands, and in informal urban settlements.
Your Qurbani in Tanzania reaches families in Dar es Salaam, Mwanza, Tanga, Tabora, Kigoma and the islands of Zanzibar and Pemba. Distribution prioritises orphans, widows, fishing families whose income has been affected by climate stress, and elderly Tanzanians living alone.
How your Qurbani is performed in Tanzania
Animals are sourced from local Tanzanian livestock markets, supporting Tanzanian pastoralist and agro-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 Muslim families across mainland Tanzania and the islands.

Why Qurbani in Tanzania matters
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "The example of the believers in their affection, mercy and compassion for each other is that of a body. When any limb aches, the whole body reacts with sleeplessness and fever." (Bukhari, Muslim) Tanzania's Muslim community is a part of that body. Your Qurbani is its sleeplessness on their behalf, expressed as a meal.
