Campaign Story

Every Eid al-Adha, thousands of Qurban are performed across major cities and urban centres. But deep within the remote villages of Indonesia, many communities are quietly left behind.

From Aceh to Papua, there are villages where families rarely experience the blessings of Qurban. In some areas, there are so few donors that entire communities go through Eid without receiving any meat at all. For many families living in rural poverty, meat is not part of normal life and may only be tasted once a year — if they are fortunate enough to receive Qurban distribution.

Indonesia has made progress economically over the years, yet millions of people in rural and remote regions continue to face poverty, limited infrastructure, unstable incomes, and food insecurity. In isolated communities, access to nutritious food remains a challenge, especially during difficult economic periods and rising living costs.

This is where your Qurban can make a meaningful difference. Through the Desaku Berqurban programme by Rumah Zakat, your sacrifice reaches villages that are often overlooked and underserved during Eid al-Adha. The programme is designed not only to distribute meat, but to revive the spirit of Eid in places where celebration is often minimal due to hardship and lack of resources.

What makes this initiative even more impactful is that the animals are sourced directly from local village farmers, helping strengthen rural livelihoods and support local economies. Villages themselves are involved throughout the process — from procuring livestock to processing and distributing the meat within their own communities. Every stage, from slaughtering to distribution, is handled responsibly and according to Islamic principles.

Even if you have already fulfilled your Qurban elsewhere, you can still contribute towards feeding vulnerable communities across Indonesia and helping forgotten villages experience the blessings of Eid. For many beneficiaries, your Qurban will not simply be food. It will be the moment Eid finally feels like Eid.
