Jakarta (ANTARA) - Human Initiative (HI) is partnering with local\nbreeders to open up broader market access for sacrificial animals\nthrough its Qurbani distribution programme ahead of Eid al-Adha 1447\nHijriah.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Qurbani programme is not only a means of worship for Muslims\nduring Eid al-Adha but also capable of driving the wheels of the\ncommunity economy, particularly for local breeders,\u201d said Vice President\nof Human Initiative Romi Ardiansyah in Jakarta on Thursday.<\/p>\n
Through this programme, HI not only focuses on distributing\nsacrificial meat to those in need but also empowers local breeders by\nproviding wider access to the sacrificial animal market.<\/p>\n
Romi stated that the Qurbani distribution programme comes with three\nmain missions: facilitating the Qurbani worship, mobilising local\nbreeders, and extending benefits to the community.<\/p>\n
According to him, Qurbani has a significant economic impact if\nmanaged in a structured and sustainable manner. Therefore, HI ensures\nthat the procurement of sacrificial animals involves local breeders from\nvarious regions.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want to ensure that Qurbani provides more equitable benefits,\u201d\nRomi said.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, he explained that HI also maintains the quality of\nsacrificial animals by conducting health checks and ensuring periodic\nquality control.<\/p>\n
These checks are carried out from two months before (H-2) up to one\nday before (H-1) the slaughter to ensure the sacrificial animals remain\ncompliant with religious requirements and of the best quality.<\/p>\n
\u201cHuman Initiative ensures that Qurbani is conducted in accordance\nwith religious law by selecting healthy animals of sufficient age,\u201d Romi\nstated.<\/p>\n
The programme offers special early bird schemes, massive discounts\n(flash sales), and special prices to enable more people to\nparticipate.<\/p>\n
Payment processes are made flexible through online services or\noffline at the nearest Human Initiative branch offices.<\/p>\n
In its distribution, the Qurbani programme targets areas with limited\nfood access, including remote regions and disaster-affected zones. Human\nInitiative\u2019s field teams distribute the sacrificial meat directly to\nensure more equitable and targeted distribution.<\/p>\n
This year, the Qurbani distribution targets 145 regions covering 134\ndistricts and cities across 27 provinces in Indonesia. The distribution\nscope includes Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, Papua, and island\nregions such as Nusa Tenggara and Maluku.<\/p>\n
Not only domestically, Human Initiative is also distributing Qurbani\nto 11 countries, namely Palestine, Jordan, Egypt, Somalia, Kenya,\nTanzania, Uganda, Nigeria, the Philippines, Thailand, and Myanmar.<\/p>\n
These regions were selected based on the community\u2019s needs for\nlimited food access.<\/p>\n
Human Initiative hopes that this programme can serve as a bridge of\ngoodness that not only brings benefits to the recipients of the\nsacrificial meat but also helps improve the welfare of local breeders in\nvarious areas.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/human-initiative-partners-with-local-breeders-through-qurbani-distribution-programme-1778158512", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
