Within the scope of the Türkiye Diyanet Foundation (TDV) Proxy Qurbani Program, slaughter operations have begun in Uganda.

TDV staff and volunteers who arrived in the country as part of the program organized by the Presidency of Religious Affairs and TDV have been deployed to different cities across Uganda.

Following Eid prayers, cattle slaughter operations commenced at 10 different locations nationwide. During the process, the names of donors are recited in accordance with Islamic procedures at the time of slaughter, followed by takbeer, and video recordings are made to be shared with donors.

Under the program, 49,000 Qurbani shares will be distributed to those in need in the cities of Mbarara, Fort Portal, Masindi, Mbale, Hoima, Masaka, Luweero, Katakwi, Busia, and Kumi.

Uganda Qurbani Coordinator Muhammed Recai Çamurlu stated that 7,000 cattle will be slaughtered across 10 regions and that the aim is to reach more than 100,000 families with 49,000 shares of meat.

He emphasized that TDV has been a source of hope for those in need across different geographies since its establishment, adding that they are honored to deliver the entrusted donations of the Turkish nation.

He also thanked donors for their trust and wished them a blessed Eid.

Veterinarian Ramazan Bozali, who is part of the team, stated that they arrived in Uganda about 10 days earlier to conduct livestock selection and health inspections across various regions. He noted that approximately 7,000 animals were examined and that only those meeting Islamic and health requirements were selected, with further inspections to continue during slaughter to ensure hygienic distribution.
