Give Qurbani in Pakistan: Send Barakah Home
“For every community We appointed a rite of sacrifice so that they may pronounce the Name of Allah over the sacrificial animals He has provided for them. For your God is only One God, so submit yourselves to Him ˹alone˺. And give good news ˹O Prophet˺ to the humble.” [Qur'an | Surah Al-Hajj | 22:34]
As the British Pakistani community prepares for the blessings of Eid al-Adha here in the UK, our hearts naturally turn toward home. While we gather with our families, millions of our brothers and sisters in Pakistan are facing a heartbreaking reality. In the very streets and villages we call home, the aroma of Biryani and Korma will be a distant dream for families in rural heartlands and urban slums who look at empty plates.
When you choose to share Qurbani meals in Pakistan, it is a chance to send your barakah back to your roots, ensuring that the blessings of Eid reach those who haven't tasted meat in months.
The Light of Your Kindness: A Story of Four Siblings
In a small village in Pakistan, four siblings- three brothers and their sister - navigate a world of total darkness. Born blind and living without income or support, even a basic meal is a daily struggle. For them, the joy of Eid was a distant memory.
A Meal They’ll Never Forget
Through your generosity, we hand-delivered fresh meat to their door. For the first time in months, the aroma of a nutritious, protein-rich meal filled their home.
As they sat together to eat, your gift provided more than just food -it provided the warmth of knowing they are loved by their Ummah in the UK. For one beautiful afternoon, the heavy burden of poverty was replaced by the simple, sacred joy of Eid.

The Crisis at Home: Why Your Pakistan Qurbani Matters
Pakistan is currently grappling with a severe hunger crisis driven by record-breaking inflation and the lingering effects of climate disasters. For our people back home, the struggle is real:
- 40% of the Population: Nearly 95 million people in Pakistan live below the poverty line. For them, a meal with meat is an "unaffordable luxury" that only happens once a year - at Qurbani.
- The Inflation Crisis: With the cost-of-living skyrocketing, basic food items have become out of reach. Your British pounds go further in providing high-quality protein to those who are surviving on tea and bread alone.
- Stunted Growth: Pakistan has one of the highest rates of child stunting in the world (nearly 40%). The nutrition from your Qurbani meat is vital for the physical and cognitive development of the next generation.
- Supporting Local Farmers: By giving your Qurbani back home, you aren't just feeding the hungry; you are supporting the local Pakistani farmers and smallholders who are the backbone of the country’s economy.
Why should I give my Qurbani to Pakistan from the UK?
With nearly 95 million people in Pakistan living below the poverty line and record-breaking inflation, fresh meat has become an "unaffordable luxury." Giving your Qurbani back to your roots ensures that vulnerable families in the villages and slums you call home can enjoy a nutritious meal that they otherwise couldn't afford.
How does my donation help the local Pakistani economy?
We don't just feed the hungry; we support the backbone of the country. By sourcing healthy animals directly from local Pakistani farmers and smallholders, your donation provides vital income to rural communities while ensuring the meat is fresh and Shariah-compliant for those in need.
Who receives the Qurbani meat in Pakistan?
We prioritise those often forgotten by society. Your sacrifice is delivered directly to the doorsteps of widows, orphaned children, and daily-wage labourers in the most neglected regions of Sindh, Punjab, KP, and Baluchistan.
Can my Qurbani help combat child malnutrition in Pakistan?
Yes. Pakistan has one of the world's highest rates of child stunting (nearly 40%). The high-quality protein provided by your Qurbani meat is essential for the physical and cognitive development of children who are currently surviving on little more than tea and bread.
Is my Qurbani handled according to Shariah standards?
Absolutely. We uphold a sacred trust to ensure every sacrifice is performed humanely and according to Prophetic traditions. From selecting healthy livestock to ensuring timely distribution during the days of Eid, we manage your Qurbani with the utmost care and transparency.
