Qurbani 2021 – Bangladesh
Thanks to you (our generous donors) we have achieved our goal and raised the funds required.
26 June 2021: Due to the popularity of this campaign and the number of pledges we have received we have had to increase the number of cows from 4 to 5, thus providing an additional 7 donation slots. Details below have been updated to reflect this.
For many families living below the poverty line in Bangladesh their diet consists only of rice and vegetables as the price of fish, poultry and meat is very high.
During the festival of Eid-ul Adha (a national celebration in Bangladesh) Smilez will provide portions of meat to 500 families so that they can eat high quality, fresh and premium meat at least once a year. Each family portion will be sufficient for at least one wholesome meal.
To provide 500 portions of meat we require 5 large cows.
The cost of each Cow is £700 and there are seven donation slots per cow.
This is a fixed donation campaign with each donation package costing £100.
A total of £3,500 will be raised (i.e. 5 cows times 7 donation packages times £100 per package)
Your donations will cover:
- Purchasing the cows from local farmers
- Sheltering, feeding and watering for one week
- Providing 24/7 security personnel to protect from theft
- Slaughtering and creating 500 portions of meat
- Distribution of meat to 500 families.
