My lovely father has died just this week because of the Corona virus. He has been working since at the age of 9 until death age of 63. He was so generous and helpful person in his life. He was helping poor people and people in need always. He had a very warm heart with lovely pure emotions. He couldn’t stop the virus spreading in his body and left us on 17th of July 2021. We planned to open a water well for him to extend his Legacy (Sadaqa Jariya) that will continue to benefit him forever and make an impact.
A single drop makes a small, seemingly insignificant, impact. But when it hits the surface, tiny ripples form. Slowly, these ripples grow bigger and the whole surface begins to change.
Clean water puts students in the classroom, improves their studies, and allows teachers to thoroughly cover curriculum, all leading to more effective learning. Lets help them to reach clean water.
Since 2014, Embrace Relief has been distributing Qurbani meat packages to the hundreds of millions of people struggling to put food on the table worldwide. Reasons they struggle include due to their lack of resources, an extremely unequal income distribution in the world, and conflict within specific countries.
About Qurbani
To ensure these packages are of the utmost quality and the animals are slaughtered as humanely and hygienically as possible, Embrace Relief’s partners put careful consideration into their selection of the animals and must comply with their local countries’ rules and designated times for the slaughter. In order to meet these standards, the animals must be:
Of great health
Above two years of age
Of minimum weight for the animal
It is because of this careful selection and scrupulous attention to utmost quality that our Qurbani packages often cost more than other packages you may find on the internet or at other venues. In addition, our meat package prices cover the following: animal cost, veterinary cost, slaughtering, skinning, chopping, packaging, facilitation fee, premises fees, and transport to distribution.
Please Donate Today
Please consider donating today to help send Qurbani meat packages to people most in need around the world. When you do, you are not only ensuring they receive food of the highest quality and nutritional value, you’re providing them hope for a brighter future as well.
Ever wonder what you can do with $25? We bet a thousand things are running through your head right now—buy a pizza dinner for your family, take someone you admire out for coffee, etc. But we bet you didn’t know something else you could do with it, something even more powerful and significant: Save a life!
That’s right. With just $25, you can give a vulnerable child in Africa healthcare for a whole year, a child who lost either one or both their parents to diseases like HIV/AIDS and ongoing conflicts in their country. That is, until Embrace Relief stepped in and provided them everything they need to survive and thrive: food, water, shelter, and education. In fact, Embrace Relief covers 100 children in the Hiari and Amani orphanages in Tanzania and 30 children in the Galaxie Foundation orphanage in The Democratic Republic of the Congo. But there’s still another incredibly important piece of the puzzle these vulnerable children need to live long, happy, prosperous lives: healthcare.
The Importance of Healthcare
By providing these incredibly vulnerable children with healthcare, they’re also protected against any unexpected, highly expensive medical services and costs due to serious accidents or illnesses. This is of special significance in a place with extreme weather conditions, high crime rates, and other severe dangers. So, please don’t hesitate to donate $25 to Embrace Relief today to save a life and provide a child in one of our orphanages with much-needed healthcare insurance for a full month. You’ll not only be helping them survive, but aiding them in getting a foothold on life, grow, learn, and carve a bright future for both themselves and their country.
As volunteers of Embrace Relief in Western America we would like to care for our orphans and honor the memory and ideals of selfless service of Mr. Mehmet Ali Sengül.

The Qurbani holiday is a time of joy and celebration for millions of people around the world. Unfortunately, there are currently 79.5 million displaced people around the world, of which 31 million are children. This Qurbani holiday, millions of refugee children around the globe will welcome the celebration away from their homes, people they love, and their favorite toys.
Child refugees are among the most vulnerable populations globally and often do not fully comprehend what has happened, why they left their homes, or what will happen. Refugee families often only travel with one bag that holds very little. As the journey to freedom is dangerous and exhausting, their clothes and belonging are often lost or ruined.
In the sixty seconds it will take you to read this, 20 more people will flee their home country out of fear from war, persecution, violence, terror, and fear and become refugees. To become a refugee means leaving everything one knows behind, including family, friends, home. This is extremely difficult for children to comprehend and adjust to.
Refugee students in Greece from our First Bricks after-school education program will receive your gifts on Eid al-Adha.
Please, join us in our mission to help refugee children celebrate Qurbani by sending them gift packages. You can help them remember what it means to be a carefree child again, reclaim their childhood, and help them celebrate this holiday of joy.
Since 2013, Embrace Relief has provided hunger relief to the hundreds of millions of people who struggle to put food on the table all around the world. Reasons they struggle include due to their lack of resources, an extremely unequal income distribution in the world, and conflict within specific countries. Last year, Embrace Relief provided over 1.5 million pounds of food to over 74,000 people worldwide as part of our international hunger relief program. This includes delivering 350 food packages to families in Greece, 700 in Yemen, 100 in Tanzania, and over 18,000 in the United States. This also includes Qurbani meat packages, which are packages that contain meat. Meat in turn contains protein, fat, minerals, and vitamins vital to fighting malnutrition in growing children, a key component of providing hunger relief.
More About Qurbani
Qurbani means sacrifice in Islam, and entails the humane, hygienic slaughtering of sheep, cattle, or goat in order to feed those who don’t have the means or the financial resources to acquire food. In fact, since refrigeration is a rarity in African countries, many people there salt, dry, and grind a Qurbani package’s meat into a powder-like substance they sprinkle into food and drinks. Oftentimes, this is their only source of protein they have access to and they make it last the entire year. Last year, Embrace Relief distributed Qurbani meat packages to over 17,000 families worldwide, including:
4,320 food packages in Qurbani Uganda
3,773 food packages in Qurbani the United States
2,200 food packages in Qurbani Tanzania
1,300 food packages in Qurbani Greece
1,200 food packages in Qurbani Kenya
1,200 food packages in Qurbani Nigeria
1,200 food packages in Qurbani Mali
907 food packages in Qurbani Yemen
800 food packages in Qurbani Burkina Faso
600 food packages in Qurbani Philippines
International Hunger Relief & Qurbani 2021
This year, Embrace Relief is raising its already extremely high international hunger relief bar even higher. So far, we’ve reached 30,000 people worldwide with our food donations and we plan on distributing Qurbani donations as well to thousands more in the following locations to help with international hunger relief:
The United States: 35+ million Americans were already struggling to put food on the table before COVID-19 and this number could rise to more than 50 million, including 17 million children.
Sub-Saharan Africa is still known to have the highest number of undernourished, with 22% of the population. This is expected to increase to 29.4% by 2030
Greece: 50,000+ refugees in Greece are forced into overcrowded refugee camps where they struggle to find food, causing malnutrition and the likelihood of disease.
Yemen: A deadly cholera outbreak, scores of attacks, and COVID-19 have resulted in 16.2 million people in Yemen currently being malnourished, the worst manmade humanitarian disaster in the world according to the UN.
Qurbani Meat Package Prices
Below are the prices of Qurbani share for each country. A single one feeds a whopping 8 families!
Africa: $175
