Doha: Qatar Red Crescent Society (QRCS) has announced the launch of the 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 aims to deliver Udhiya sacrificial meat to the poorest families during Eid Al-Adha, promoting human unity and social solidarity.
According to Qatar News Agency, a QRCS statement confirmed that all necessary arrangements have been made to receive donations for sacrificial sheep, goats, and cows. The donated animals will be secured during the project’s duration, with the slaughter process carried out in accordance with health regulations and within the Shariah-specified timeframe. The meat will then be distributed as food rations to 271,000 of the most vulnerable beneficiaries.
Secretary-General of QRCS Faisal Mohamed Al Emadi explained that this campaign is part of QRCS’s ongoing efforts to support impoverished communities and meet their needs during specific seasons of charity. Such efforts are eagerly awaited by hundreds of thousands of poor people, especially in countries affected by 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 gratitude to RACA and the Ministry of Endowments and Islamic Affairs for their effective role in facilitating the campaign’s administrative and organizing procedures. He also thanked everyone who helped bring the joy of Eid to those in need during this 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 QR 3,360. The slaughter process will occur during the four days of Eid Al-Adha, and the meat will be canned for easy preservation, transportation, and storage. This measure will help maintain the quality and shelf life of the canned meat until access to the blockade is possible.
Since 2017, QRCS has been implementing the Adahi campaign, designed to enable the public to observe the ritual Udhiya sacrifice offering. Upon receiving 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 spans 14 countries, including Qatar, Jordan, Syria, Palestine (Gaza), Yemen, Mauritania, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Djibouti, Sudan, Niger, Chad, Tanzania, and Somalia.
