Double the Blessings: Give Back this Eid ul Adha with Food and Water Donations

Eid ul Adha, the Festival of Sacrifice, is a time of reflection, compassion, and generosity. As we remember the unwavering devotion of Prophet Ibrahim (AS), we are reminded of our own duty to share our blessings with others. Around the world, millions of people live without access to basic needs — food, clean water, shelter.

This Eid, you can make a lasting difference.

Whether you choose to donate for Eid ul Adha to provide essential meat for struggling families or donate a community well to bring clean water to an entire village, your sacrifice can become someone else’s salvation.

In this blog, we explore how your Eid giving can transform lives — not just for a day, but for years to come.

Why Eid ul Adha Is More Than Just a Sacrifice

Eid ul Adha, celebrated on the 10th day of Dhul Hijjah, marks one of the holiest events in Islam. It commemorates Prophet Ibrahim’s willingness to sacrifice his son at Allah’s command. In honor of his devotion, Muslims are encouraged to sacrifice an animal and share the meat — one-third for their household, one-third for friends and neighbors, and one-third for those in need.

But in our modern world, giving on Eid goes far beyond the act of slaughter. It’s about sharing your wealth, comfort, and care with those who live without the basics we take for granted.

When you donate for Eid ul Adha through platforms like BasicAid, you're not just fulfilling a religious obligation — you’re participating in a global mission to end hunger and restore dignity to those suffering in silence.

The Global Crisis: Hunger and Water Insecurity

Hunger:

• Over 828 million people worldwide go to bed hungry each night.
  
  

• Many families affected by war, drought, or poverty rarely — if ever — eat meat.
  
  

• Eid ul Adha is often the only time they experience a proper meal.
  
  

Water:

• 1 in 3 people globally lack access to safe drinking water.
  
  

• Dirty water contributes to disease, child mortality, and school dropout rates.
  
  

• Women and children in some regions walk hours every day just to collect water.
  
  

While giving meat for Eid addresses short-term hunger, giving clean water through a well can save lives every day for years to come.

🚰 Water Well in Bangladesh

In rural Bangladesh, BasicAid donors funded the construction of a deep borehole well serving over 300 villagers. Previously, they relied on contaminated pond water. Today, they drink safely, bathe hygienically, and send their children to school without fear of waterborne disease.
