Our goal this Eid al-Adha 2024 is to feed 2000 families in Northern Lebanon by securing 20 cows in the area at a cost of $1750 per cow, $250 a share for each cow. Each cow can feed around 100 families.
Last Eid al-Adha (2023) you made this possible and in these first 10 days of Dhul-Hijja your generosity is needed.
Lebanon is enduring a humanitarian catastrophe created by a financial meltdown. The poorest of families are now poorer due to the devaluation of their currency and shortages in the supply chain. We feel compelled to help.
*** We’ve closed contributions for this project this year. Our gratitude to all who gave. We were able to collect enough for 7 whole cows this year.***
We’ve provided you with four ways to donate:
1- “Feed One Family” While this does not count as Udhiya, you can still contribute to help feed the needy.
2- “One Udhiya Share” will purchase 1/7th of a cow, costing $250 US dollars, allowing you to share with others the expense of performing Udhiya this year. One share will feed around 14 families.
3- “Entire Cow for Udhiya” for those of you with means or who are pooling resources, you can purchase an entire cow (7 shares) to be slaughtered and distributed to the poor. This will feed 100 families.
4- “Entire Sheep for Udhiya” for those that want to purchase a single sheep for Udhiya, the cost is $400 US dollars.
Use the Stripe form above for payment. When payment is successful, you will be taken to a “Payment Confirmation” page. Please print that page for your records.
Wellspring Endowment is a US based registered 501c3 non profit organization. We have partnered with the Zakat Fund of Kalamoun, Koura, and Batroun in Northern Lebanon to provide the cost of animals for Udhiya, to distribute meat this Eid al-Adha to the poorest of those areas. Zakat Fund of Kalamoun, Koura, and Batroun (Caisse Zakat Kalamoun Koura Batroun) is registered charity under the supervision of Dar al-Fatwa in Lebanon.
