DOHA: Qatar Red Crescent Society (QRCS) has announced the launch of Adahi Campaign 2025/1446 AH, with a license from the Regulatory Authority for Charitable Activities (RACA).
Under the slogan 'Udhiyah Is Blessing', this seasonal project is aimed at delivering Udhiya sacrificial meat to the poorest families during Eid Al Adha, with a view to promoting human unity and social solidarity.
A QRCS statement said that all necessary arrangements have been made to receive donations for the available sacrificial sheep, goats, and cows. Then, the donated sacrificial animals will be secured during the project’s duration, and the slaughter process will be carried out in accordance with health regulations and within the Shariah-specified timeframe. Lastly, the meat will be distributed as food rations to 271,000 most vulnerable beneficiaries.
Secretary-General of QRCS Faisal Mohamed Al Emadi explained that this campaign was part of QRCS’s ongoing efforts to support poor communities and meet their needs during specific seasons of charity, eagerly awaited by hundreds of thousands of poor people, especially in countries suffering from the scourge of displacement and refugee influx due to disasters and crises. He emphasized that the campaign would be implemented up to the highest standards of quality and transparency, expressing thanks to RACA and the Ministry of Endowments and Islamic Affairs for their effective role in making this campaign happen and facilitating all administrative and organizing procedures, while thanking everyone who helped them bring the joy of Eid to the hearts of those in need during such a spiritual religious time.
In response to the harsh humanitarian conditions experienced by the people of Gaza, a special section of the campaign involves the donation of one whole cow (equal to seven sacrificial shares) for only QR 3,360. The slaughter process will take place during the four days of Eid Al Adha, and the meat will be canned for easy preservation, transportation, and storage. This will help maintain the quality and shelf life of the canned meat until access to the blockade is possible.
Every year since 2017, QRCS has been implementing the Adahi campaign, designed to enable the public to observe the ritual Udhiya sacrifice offering. Upon receiving the donations, QRCS ensures the delivery of the meat of donated Udhiya sacrificial animals to those in need, in cooperation with local and international partners.
This year's campaign involves 14 countries — Qatar, Jordan, Syria, Palestine (Gaza), Yemen, Mauritania, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Djibouti, Sudan, Niger, Chad, Tanzania, and Somalia.
