The Alkhidmat Foundation completed a wide-reaching Qurbani campaign across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa during the three days of Eid al-Adha, delivering sacrificial meat and festive cheer to thousands of underserved families, children, prisoners, and people with special needs.

Volunteers from Alkhidmat Foundation distributed meat to orphaned children, widows, street children, prisoners, Afghan refugees, the elderly, and laborers across the province. The campaign extended from Peshawar to remote districts such as Kohat, Swabi, and Charsadda. The meat was also delivered to people living in slums and those battling poverty in silence.

In Peshawar and Charsadda, Alkhidmat hosted special events at the Thalassemia Centers, where patients received Eid gifts and meat. Children smiled as volunteers handed out meals and gifts. “Alkhidmat is committed to serving children fighting thalassemia, and is working towards establishing a bone marrow transplant center,” said Khalid Waqas, the foundation’s provincial president.

Meanwhile, in Peshawar Central Jail and other prisons in the province, meat was distributed among inmates. Volunteers said they wanted prisoners to feel remembered during Eid, a time of togetherness and celebration.

At Angel Home Peshawar, children with physical and mental disabilities enjoyed a joyous celebration organized by Alkhidmat. Two goats were sacrificed, and the meat was served as a festive meal. “Their smiles were priceless,” said Muhammad Shakir Siddiqui, General Secretary of the foundation’s provincial chapter. “This is the real meaning of Eid.”

The foundation also hosted a special gathering for orphaned children under the Orphan Care program. Guests included provincial leaders, media personalities, and heads of civil society organizations. Together with the children, they cooked and shared the Qurbani meal. Each child received Eidi and a portion of meat. “We saw joy in their eyes. Alkhidmat has given these children a reason to celebrate,” said one attendee.

In Swabi, meat was delivered to hospital patients and Afghan refugee families. In Kohat, laborers, street vendors, and other daily-wage earners received meat packages. Across the province, volunteers carried meat to doorsteps in slum areas and rural villages.

The campaign also reached out to transgender individuals, artists, and others from marginalized communities.

Speaking on the effort, Alkhidmat’s leadership extended deep gratitude to all donors and volunteers in Pakistan and abroad who made the campaign possible. “This Eid, we did not just offer sacrifices — we offered dignity, warmth, and hope,” said Khalid Waqas.

The distribution campaign lasted all three days of Eid and concluded with thousands of families receiving meat across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
