In a home in Yemen, a mother is preparing her children for an Eid she cannot yet afford. She teaches them the takbeer, straightens their clothes, and holds the day together with the quiet strength that Yemeni mothers have carried through years of hardship. When they return from Eid prayer, she does not know what she will put on the table.
Your Qurbani is more than an obligation, it's the feast families have been looking forward to every year. We deliver and turn her worry in to joy.
That is what we have been doing in Yemen since 2008. This Eid, we are doing it again.
The Situation in Yemen
Yemen has been living through one of the world's most severe humanitarian crises for over a decade. Prolonged conflict has dismantled the systems that make ordinary life possible — markets, healthcare, water infrastructure, livelihoods — leaving millions of families with no reliable means of feeding themselves, let alone observing Eid with the provision the day was designed to bring.
Over 21 million people in Yemen are in need of humanitarian assistance. Malnutrition rates remain among the highest in the world, with children disproportionately bearing the consequences of a crisis that has no quick resolution in sight. For the majority of Yemeni families, meat is not something they can access at any point in the year — let alone on Eid ul-Adha, when Qurbani was specifically ordained to reach them.
The families Mercy Relief serves in Yemen are not just numbers. They are communities we have known, worked alongside and delivered to since 2008 — through every phase of this crisis, without interruption.
Your Qurbani Options for Yemen
Sheep — £100 One full Qurbani. A sheep counts as a complete sacrifice for one individual or household. Our most accessible option, ensuring no eligible Muslim is unable to fulfil their obligation.
Cow Share — £115 One seventh of a cow equals one full Qurbani. Up to seven individuals can share a single animal, each fulfilling their own individual obligation at the same cost as a sheep share.
Full Cow — £805 All seven shares of one animal. Ideal for families or groups fulfilling their Qurbani together, or for donors wishing to maximise the reach of their sacrifice in a single act.
All pricing is fully inclusive — the animal, slaughter, butchering and distribution to beneficiary families in Yemen. There are no additional charges.
How Mercy Relief Delivers Qurbani in Yemen
Mercy Relief is one of the most prominent humanitarian organisations operating on the ground in Yemen. We have maintained an active presence there since 2008 — longer than most charities have been working in the country at all. That continuity is not incidental. It is the foundation of everything we are able to deliver.
When you give your Yemen Qurbani through Mercy Relief, here is what that means in practice:
Local sourcing, local knowledge. We purchase animals locally from Yemeni farmers and suppliers — supporting the local economy and ensuring the freshest possible meat reaches families. Our teams know which markets are accessible, which supply chains are reliable and which communities have received least support. That knowledge is only built over years. We have had years.
Direct distribution to verified families. Our on-the-ground presence means we do not rely on third-party intermediaries to reach beneficiaries. Mercy Relief staff and local partners distribute directly to families selected on the basis of need — the families who would otherwise receive nothing on Eid.
Slaughter within the prescribed days. All Qurbani in Yemen is performed after Eid prayer on the 10th of Dhul Hijjah and completed within the prescribed 10th, 11th and 12th. Your obligation is fulfilled correctly, on time, by people who understand what that means.
Full accountability after Eid. You will receive a post-distribution impact report confirming that your Qurbani was fulfilled within the prescribed days and that it reached families in Yemen. We consider this part of the Amanah — not an optional extra.
Give a Second Qurbani in Yemen: Complete His Sunnah
The Prophet ﷺ used to sacrifice two animals: one for himself, and a second one for those in his Ummah who could not afford it.
In a country where millions cannot afford a single meal, giving a second Qurbani in Yemen is one of the most direct ways to continue that prophetic act. You are not simply giving again — you are fulfilling the second Qurbani the Prophet ﷺ himself gave on behalf of those with nothing.
First Qurbani: Follow his Sunnah. Second Qurbani: Complete his Sunnah.
