Amidst the exceptional and complex humanitarian conditions that our brothers and sisters in Yemen are enduring, and embodying the values of social solidarity and cross-border brotherly support, Ejabh has announced the successful conclusion of its Qurbani campaign in Yemen. Partnering field teams have successfully reached the targeted residential blocks and the most vulnerable camps across several Yemeni governorates suffering from acute food security gaps.
This seasonal campaign comes as an inherent part of the organization’s ongoing commitment to delivering urgent relief assistance. It transforms the donations and charity of benefactors into a tangible impact that contributes directly to sustaining families in need, bringing true Eid joy to the hearts of children, mothers, and the elderly facing harsh living conditions.
The Humanitarian Reality in Yemen and the Importance of Food Intervention
International reports indicate that millions of families in Yemen face massive daily challenges to secure a complete nutritional meal. Meat is among the commodities that have been absent from the tables of these families for long months due to skyrocketing prices and declining purchasing power.
Hence, the Qurbani campaign in Yemen gains redoubled importance; it is not merely a religious ritual or a passing aid, but rather an emergency food response project aiming to provide high-quality animal protein to families suffering from acute malnutrition, specifically displaced children and pregnant women.
Figures from the Field: How Your Donations Made a Difference
Ejabh adopts the principle of absolute transparency and documented data in all its field reports, firmly believing that digital integrity is the foundation for building trust with donors and partners. This year’s field implementation plan included precise screening mechanisms in cooperation with trusted community committees to ensure the selection of beneficiaries based on the highest standards of efficiency and need.
The campaign focused primarily on the following groups:
-
Voluntarily Displaced Families: Living in makeshift displacement camps that lack the basic necessities of life and essential services.
-
Orphan and Widow Families: Who have lost their primary breadwinner and do not possess a stable source of financial income.
-
People with Special Needs and the Sick: Including the visually impaired and the elderly whose health conditions restrict them from working to secure their daily sustenance.
-
Remote and Isolated Areas: Located outside the reach of traditional humanitarian aid due to rugged geographical terrains.
Quality First: Strict Health and Sharia Standards
The campaign was not just about quantitative distribution. The executive management at Ejabh ensured the application of a strict protocol to guarantee the safety of the meat and preserve the dignity of the beneficiaries alike. These standards are summarized in two essential steps:
1. Veterinary Examination and Livestock Selection
The livestock was purchased locally to support the local market and economy in Yemen. All animals underwent a meticulous and independent veterinary examination before starting the slaughter processes, ensuring full compliance with health and Sharia regulations.
2. Packaging Lines and Cold Logistics
Given the high summer temperatures and logistical challenges related to power outages, our teams relied on hygienic and refrigerated packaging and storage tools. This integrated logistical system contributed to delivering the meat fresh and with the highest possible nutritional quality directly to the doors of the beneficiaries’ homes, saving them the trouble of traveling or waiting in long lines.
Sustainability and Solidarity: Ejabh’s Future Vision
The true impact of the Qurbani campaign in Yemen extends beyond the days of Eid. The psychological and moral message reaching these families confirms that the international humanitarian community stands by them and has not forgotten them in their plight. The smiles we saw on the children’s faces are the fuel that drives our teams to continue, give, and develop.
In conclusion, Ejabh extends its deepest gratitude and appreciation to all donors, benefactors, and field partners who placed their trust in our humanitarian platform and supported this campaign. We are committed to continuing the path with you, transitioning from emergency relief to inventing sustainable development projects that contribute to empowering communities and family economies to build their own futures.
