Global Ehsan Relief (GER) Sri Lanka organizes Qurban programs every year during the holy month of Eid al-Adha, ensuring that the blessings of Qurban are shared with those most in need. The act of Qurban, or animal sacrifice, is a significant aspect of Eid al-Adha, symbolizing the willingness to give and share with the less fortunate. GER Sri Lanka facilitates this process by arranging the sacrifice of animals and distributing the meat to underprivileged families, orphans, widows, and the elderly across the country.
The Qurban initiative by GER aims to ensure that even the most vulnerable in society can enjoy nutritious meals during the festival, when otherwise they might not have access to meat. For many families, this may be the only time in the year they are able to consume meat, highlighting the importance of such a program. The distribution of Qurban meat not only provides physical nourishment but also brings joy and a sense of inclusion to communities that may often feel neglected.
Through this initiative, GER Sri Lanka ensures that the sacred practice of Qurban fulfills its true purpose — to alleviate hunger and bring people together in the spirit of giving and compassion. Volunteers and local teams work diligently to ensure the sacrifice is conducted in accordance with Islamic principles and that the meat is distributed fairly and efficiently. The program has a significant impact, strengthening community ties and ensuring that the essence of Eid al-Adha reaches the hearts and homes of those most in need across Sri Lanka.
