Give Qurbani in Yemen: Hope for the Heart of the Ummah
"The people of Yemen have come to you, and they are more soft-hearted and gentle-hearted people. Belief (Iman) is Yemeni and Wisdom (Hikmah) is Yemeni." (Sahih al-Bukhari)
While the world’s attention may shift, the people of Yemen continue to endure one of the most profound humanitarian trials of our time. After years of relentless conflict, the "land of faith" has become a land of extreme hardship. For millions of Yemeni parents, Eid is no longer a time of feast, but a time of quiet heartbreak as they struggle to provide even a simple meal for their children.
A Lifeline in a Forgotten Crisis
Yemen remains one of the most food-insecure countries on earth. The statistics are a call to action for us all:
- The Hunger Reality: Over 17 million people in Yemen wake up every day not knowing if they will eat.
- Stolen Childhoods: Nearly 2.2 million children under the age of five are suffering from acute malnutrition, requiring urgent therapeutic care.
- The Cost of Living: With the economy in collapse, the price of basic food has skyrocketed, making fresh meat an impossible dream for the average family.

The Power of Your Yemeni Qurbani
By choosing a Yemen Qurbani, you are sending a clear message to our brothers and sisters that they have not been abandoned.
- Direct Nutritional Relief: Your sacrifice provides high-quality protein to displaced families and widows, helping to combat the devastating effects of long-term malnutrition.
- Restoring the Joy of Eid: For a family living in a tent or a war-torn neighbourhood, fresh meat is a luxury they may only see once a year. Your gift restores the dignity of the Sunnah.
- Honouring the Prophetic Love: Our Prophet (ﷺ) spoke of the gentle hearts of the Yemeni people. Giving here is a beautiful way to honour that connection and support those he praised so highly.

We always aim to use your donation as intended.

Why is giving Qurbani in Yemen so critical this year?
Yemen is currently facing one of the most severe humanitarian crises in the world. With over 17 million people suffering from food insecurity, a gift of fresh meat is often the only protein many families will eat all year. By choosing Yemen Qurbani 2026, you are providing direct nutritional relief to children and families who have been displaced by years of conflict and are struggling to survive.
How does my Qurbani donation reach those in need in Yemen?
Penny Appeal works with experienced teams on the ground who navigate difficult terrains to reach the most isolated communities, including displaced person camps and war-torn neighbourhoods. We identify the most vulnerable such as widows, orphaned children, and the elderly to ensure your Eid al-Adha sacrifice provides relief where it is most desperately needed.
Can I be sure my Yemen Qurbani is Shariah-compliant?
Absolutely. We take our religious obligations as seriously as our humanitarian ones. Every animal selected for Qurbani in Yemen is healthy, meets the required age for sacrifice, and is slaughtered humanely according to Islamic principles following the Eid prayer. We ensure that every share is handled with the utmost respect and transparency.
What is the impact of fresh meat on malnourished children in Yemen?
In a country where millions of children suffer from acute malnutrition, fresh meat is a vital source of essential proteins, iron, and vitamins that are absent from their daily diets. Your Qurbani donation does more than fill a plate for a day; it provides a much-needed boost to the physical health and psychological well-being of children living in extreme poverty.
How much does a Qurbani share in Yemen cost?
The cost of a Qurbani share in Yemen reflects the local market prices for livestock and the logistical challenges of delivering fresh meat in a conflict zone. By paying the current rate, you are ensuring that we can source high-quality animals from local farmers supporting the local economy and safely transport the meat to the families who have lost everything.
