Contemporary charitable work aims to move from the concept of “temporary assistance” toward “creating sustainable impact” by organizing efforts, developing mechanisms, and expanding access to beneficiaries with the highest standards of transparency and efficiency.
Based on this vision, we provide an integrated system of humanitarian and charitable services covering various fields of relief, support, and development, with a special focus on Qurbani projects as one of the most significant annual seasons of giving.

Second: Qurbani Projects (The Most Important Seasonal Sector)
Qurbani projects are among the association’s most prominent and impactful programs due to their connection to a great act of worship and a unique spiritual and social season.
1. The Concept of the Qurbani Project
This is a seasonal project carried out during the days of Eid al-Adha, aiming to:
• Perform Qurbani slaughter according to Islamic guidelines
• Distribute meat to poor and needy families
• Bring joy to homes that often do not experience this sacred practice
2. Mechanism for Implementing the Qurbani Project
We implement the project through carefully organized stages:
A) Receiving Requests and Authorization
• Receiving Qurbani requests from donors
• Documenting authorization in a clear and Sharia-compliant manner
B) Selecting the Qurbani Animals
• Selecting animals according to Islamic requirements (age, safety, and health)
• Veterinary supervision to ensure quality
C) Sharia-Compliant Slaughter
• Carrying out the slaughter within the designated Islamic time
• Supervision by qualified Sharia specialists
• Adhering to the Sunnah and ethics of slaughter
D) Distribution
• Distributing meat to eligible families
• Giving priority to those in greatest need
• Ensuring geographical and social fairness
3. Geographic Scope of Implementation
We implement Qurbani projects in:
• Poor countries
• Conflict zones
• Refugee camps

This is carried out according to an annual assessment of humanitarian needs.
4. Transparency in Qurbani Projects
We adhere to the highest standards of transparency through:
• Documenting slaughter operations
• Providing photo and video reports
• Conducting field follow-up
• Sending regular updates to donors
5. The Impact of Qurbani Projects
The impact of the project is not limited to providing food only, but also extends to:
• Strengthening social solidarity
• Bringing joy during Eid
• Supporting temporary food security for poor families
• Reviving a great Islamic ritual in underserved communities
6. Qurbani Authorization Through the Association

Third: Our Vision for Charitable Work
We believe that successful charitable work is built upon three essential pillars:
-
Legitimacy: Full compliance with the principles of Islamic Sharia
-
Transparency: Clarity in processes and procedures
-
Impact: Measuring outcomes and achieving the greatest benefit for those in need
In conclusion, our mission at Umde Charity goes beyond merely providing assistance; it seeks to build an integrated charitable system that creates a real impact in people’s lives.
At the heart of this system are the Qurbani projects, representing one of the greatest seasons of giving, where the spiritual dimension meets the humanitarian dimension in a noble expression of solidarity inspired by Islam.
We always strive to be a bridge connecting donors with those in need, turning every donation into a lasting impact and every project into a story of good that deserves to be told.
