Give Your Qurbani Where It’s Needed Most: Somalia
Every year, the blessed days of Eid al-Adha remind us of sacrifice, compassion, and our duty to care for those less fortunate. While many of us celebrate with abundance, thousands of families in Somalia face a very different reality, one marked by drought, displacement, and chronic food insecurity. Your Qurbani can change that.
A Crisis That Cannot Be Ignored
Almost 4 million people have been displaced in Somalia. Six and a half million urgently need food to survive. With over half the population living below the poverty line and years of climate disaster compounding an already fragile situation, most families cannot afford meat at any point in the year — let alone on Eid. Children are among the most affected. Malnutrition rates remain dangerously high, and access to protein is severely limited. For many families, your Qurbani will be the only meat they eat all year.
Why Your Qurbani Matters Here
When you give your Qurbani to Somalia, you are doing more than fulfilling a religious obligation, you are delivering hope to families who have been forgotten by the world.
Multiply the Reward of Your Giving
The essence of Qurbani lies in sharing. One $106 cow share or $185 goat qurbani feeds multiple families — each receiving 3–4kg of fresh halal meat, sourced locally and distributed across Somalia's most food-insecure communities.
In a country where every portion counts, your sacrifice stretches further than you may realise. And in the most beloved days of the year to Allah, the reward for that giving stretches further still.
Be the Reason Someone Smiles This Eid
Imagine a family sitting down on Eid day with a meal they never expected. A child tasting meat for the first time in months. This is the power of your Qurbani — not just nourishment, but dignity, inclusion, and the knowledge that they have not been forgotten by their ummah.
This Eid, let your sacrifice go beyond tradition. Let it transform lives.
Give your Qurbani to Somalia today. Give with purpose.
Our 2025 Qurbani Impact in Somalia
Last Dhul Hijjah, Human Appeal reached over 190,200 people with Qurbani meat in Somalia — one of our largest distributions in Africa. Operating in a country where displacement, drought and food insecurity intersect makes every distribution a logistical achievement. Our teams delivered regardless, because Somalia's crisis does not pause for Eid.
Globally, 1.17 million people were reached across 20+ countries. Your 2026 Qurbani builds directly on that foundation.

When the Messenger (PBUH) was asked what Qurbani is, he answered, “It is the Sunnah of your father Ibrahim. For every hair of the Qurbani you receive a reward from Allah.”
(Al-Tirmidhi)
One cow equals seven Qurbani shares — so a cow share (1/7 of a cow) fulfils one donor's obligation. One goat or sheep equals one full Qurbani. Both are valid. The animal type available depends on the country and local availability.
Somalia is facing a convergence of crises — drought, displacement, and chronic food insecurity — that has left 6.5 million people urgently needing food. With over half the population living below the poverty line, most families cannot afford meat at any point in the year. Your Qurbani provides direct, immediate nutrition to families who would otherwise have no means of enjoying an Eid meal.
A Qurbani share in Somalia costs $119 for a cow and $185 for a goat through Human Appeal Canada. This covers the full cost of the animal, slaughter, butchering, packaging, and distribution to beneficiary families. There are no additional charges.
One Qurbani share feeds multiple families, each receiving 3–4kg of fresh halal meat. One goat or cow, and the full yield is distributed across verified beneficiary households selected based on need.
Human Appeal distributes fresh halal goat meat and beef in Somalia, sourced locally from trusted farmers where possible to support the local economy and ensure the best quality meat for beneficiary families.
Yes. All sacrifices are conducted by qualified butchers under the oversight of local Imams and Islamic scholars, in full accordance with Sharia guidelines — the same standard Human Appeal has upheld across 20+ countries for 35 years.
Yes, in 2025 alone, Human Appeal reached over 190,200 people with Qurbani meat in Somalia — one of the largest single-country distributions in our Africa program.
Yes. You can donate multiple shares. Many donors choose to give additional shares on behalf of deceased parents, family members, or the Prophet ﷺ and the Ummah. Each additional $50 reached another group of families this Eid.
They refer to the same act. Qurbani is the term commonly used in South Asia and across the wider Muslim world, while Udhiya is the classical Arabic term. Both refer to the sacrifice performed during the days of Dhul Hijjah.
Yes. Simply make your intention at the time of donation. Human Appeal will ensure it is performed in Somalia.
Sacrifices are carried out between the 10th and 13th of Dhul Hijjah, beginning after the Eid prayer. Human Appeal pre-purchases animals in advance so your Qurbani will be performed on time regardless of when you donate within the giving window.
Every year our team in the field endeavours to ensure your Qurbani is distributed on your behalf in the country you selected. However, in cases where it is no longer possible in the country of your choice due to factors beyond our control, we will ensure it is delivered within the Eid days, to those who need it most in the next nearest country.
