The T\u00fcrkiye Diyanet Foundation (TDV) will deliver Qurbani meat from 29,750 shares to needy families in Niger as part of its Qurbani Program.<\/p>\n
Within the framework of the \u201c2026 Qurbani Organization\u201d jointly carried out by the Presidency of Religious Affairs and TDV, volunteers from T\u00fcrkiye and various countries have begun their activities across different regions of Niger.<\/p>\n
Volunteers carried out procurement of qurbani animals in multiple locations, prepared slaughter areas, and tagged animals that met the required conditions under veterinary supervision.<\/p>\n
TDV teams, who have been working in the field for approximately 10 days, have now completed all preparations for the Qurbani operations in Niger.<\/p>\n
The volunteer team plans to slaughter 4,250 cattle in Niger, enabling the distribution of approximately 29,750 shares of Qurbani meat to around 160,000 needy families.<\/p>\n
The initiative aims to further strengthen the bonds of brotherhood and solidarity between T\u00fcrkiye and Niger through the distribution of qurbani meat during Eid al-Adha.<\/p>\n
TDV Niger Coordinator Muhammet Bahattin Alkan stated that the Foundation arrived in Niger for the 2026 Qurbani Program and completed animal selection, inspection, and tagging processes.<\/p>\n
He said:<\/p>\n
\u201cOur qurbani animals are now ready for slaughter for Eid al-Adha. May Allah be pleased with all who donated to this work and our donors. For about 10 days, we have been conducting animal selection across different regions of Niger, from north to south. All inspections and selections have been completed. With a 41-member team, we will carry out the slaughter and distribution during Eid. Our animals were individually inspected by veterinarians assigned by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry. Each animal was checked for conditions and defects.\u201d<\/p>\n
Emphasizing the health condition of the animals, he added:<\/p>\n
\u201cOur animals were selected in accordance with Islamic requirements and prepared for slaughter. With two veterinarians and a 41-person volunteer team, we completed all procedures. We are ready for Eid al-Adha. In Niger, we will slaughter 4,250 cattle, corresponding to 29,750 shares, and deliver meat to approximately 160,000 families. We will further strengthen our brotherhood with the people of Niger and share the joy of Eid with them.\u201d<\/p>\n
Veterinarian Emre \u015eahin from the Bart\u0131n Provincial Directorate of Agriculture and Forestry also stated that they came to Niger to inspect qurbani animals on behalf of TDV.<\/p>\n
He explained that they examined whether the animals met the criteria for Qurbani, focusing primarily on age requirements, ensuring cattle were at least two years old, and checking general health conditions. Animals that met the standards were tagged and officially registered under TDV.<\/p>\n
