The Canned Qurbani Project 2026 was launched to provide Qurbani meat to vulnerable families in Gaza in a practical and sustainable form. The first phase was conducted in Egypt, where all Qurbani animals were slaughtered at a professional slaughterhouse under strict hygiene and food-safety standards.

A Carefully Managed First Phase

The project began in Egypt, where the Qurbani process was carried out in a controlled slaughterhouse environment. The animals were slaughtered with careful attention to cleanliness, hygiene, and proper handling throughout the process.

From Qurbani to Long-Term Food Support

Rather than providing fresh meat for immediate consumption, the Qurbani meat was prepared for canning and preservation, allowing it to be stored and distributed to families in Gaza over a longer period.

Maintaining Hygiene at Every Stage

The first phase prioritized hygienic slaughter and careful meat handling to ensure that the Qurbani process met appropriate standards before the meat moved toward processing and distribution.

Connecting Qurbani with Humanitarian Need

By combining the religious tradition of Qurbani with a preserved food format, the project aims to extend the benefit of Qurbani to families facing prolonged food insecurity and humanitarian hardship in Gaza.
