Volunteers from Türkiye Diyanet Foundation distributed entrusted Qurbani donations to thousands of families in Niger

Türkiye Diyanet Foundation volunteers slaughtered the Qurbani donations in Niger and delivered the meat to the tables of thousands of families in need.

As part of the “2026 Qurbani on behalf Organization” jointly carried out by the Presidency of Religious Affairs and Türkiye Diyanet Foundation, volunteers traveled to 41 regions across Niger to carry out Qurbani slaughter operations.

With the support of local communities, the packaged Qurbani meat was transported over long distances by TDV volunteers and distributed to thousands of needy families. Within the scope of the organization, 4,250 cattle were slaughtered in Niger, corresponding to approximately 29,750 Qurbani shares distributed to vulnerable families.

Families receiving the meat expressed their gratitude to the Turkish people, TDV volunteers, and donors, stating that the assistance enabled them to experience the joy of Eid.

TDV Niger Coordinator Muhammet Bahattin Alkan stated that nearly 160,000 families were reached across 41 regions, emphasizing that the entrusted donations united hearts around the same table despite thousands of kilometers of distance. He also highlighted the dedication of volunteers working under extreme temperatures exceeding 40°C throughout the Eid period.

Volunteer Aydın Kılıç expressed that although they worked under difficult conditions and far from their families, witnessing the joy of the local people made them forget their exhaustion.

Residents of Niger also voiced appreciation for the support received from Türkiye, praying for the acceptance of the charitable efforts and expressing hope to welcome Turkish volunteers again next year.
