Adahi Project: Saudi Arabia's Generosity Reaches Beneficiaries Worldwide
Muslims across the globe are celebrating Eid Al-Adha, one of the two major Islamic feasts. Eid Al-Adha is the culmination of the Hajj journey. It is marked by the ritual of sacrificing an animal, known as Udhhiyah or Hady. The meat of this sacrificial animal is then distributed among family, friends, and people in need, embodying the spirit of community togetherness and charity. In recognition of the centrality of animal sacrifice in Hajj rituals, and as part of its tireless efforts to serve the guests of the Holy Sites, Saudi Arabia has launched several initiatives and projects to facilitate the ritual of sacrifice during Hajj and distribute meat to the needy inside the Kingdom and in other countries. Adahi Project In 1983, Saudi Arabia launched The Kingdom Project for Utilization of Hady & Adahi (Adahi). The Royal Commission for Makkah City and Holy Sites has been supervising the project, in collaboration with the relevant government entities, since November 2024. The Adahi project aims to facilitate the performance of Hady, Udhhiyah, Fidyah, Sadaqah and Aqiqah for Hajj and Umrah pilgrims throughout the year. It also seeks to establish strategic partnerships with public, private, and non-profit sectors to ensure that meat reaches eligible beneficiaries locally and globally through regulated and approved distribution. Adahi Seamless Operation The Adahi Project operates through 8 integrated complexes in Makkah, equipped with cutting-edge processing and freezing facilities, with a capacity of handling over 900,000 sacrifices annually. The complexes' operations are supervised by more than 1,000 veterinarians. Five open complexes enable pilgrims to undertake the sacrifice ritual themselves. Meanwhile, in the remaining three closed complexes, a proxy performs the ritual, where the Project executes all ritual operations on their behalf and informs them of the completion of the ritual. The Adahi Project Management tackles the preparation, cleaning, freezing, packaging, and distribution of meat. Meat Distribution Upon the completion of the sacrifice ritual, the Adahi Project distributes the meat to the eligible beneficiaries in the Haram area and other deserving recipients in 27 countries through local and international channels, including Ehsan, Saudi Post, KSrelief, and other humanitarian organizations. These include Azerbaijan, Bangladesh, Burkina Faso, Chad, Comoros, Djibouti, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea Bissau, Guinea Conakry, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Liberia, Mali, Mauritania, Mozambique, Niger, Pakistan, Palestine, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Sudan, Syria, and Tanzania. The distribution process takes place in cooperation with Saudi Arabia's embassies and authorized government and non-government entities in the beneficiary countries. Record Numbers in 2025 During Hajj 2025, the Adahi Project began its operations for the sacrifice ritual on the Day of Eid, falling on June 6, according to the Saudi Press Agency (SPA). The project has set a target of sacrificing 950,000 livestock within 84 hours. To this end, it equipped 7 complexes and 25,000 personnel with various administrative, technical, medical, and engineering specialties to provide high-quality services for pilgrims and ensure the application of the best environmental practices. The project has also developed a new model that utilizes proactive planning, institutional integration, and AI-enhanced digital system to boost efficiency and handle more than 1.1 million rituals throughout Eid Al-Adha, adhering to strict health and environmental standards. جهود مستمرة ومتواصلة في مشروع المملكة العربية السعودية للإفادة من الهدي والأضاحي (#أضاحي)، بهدف إيصالها إلى جميع المسلمين المستحقين في مختلف بلدان العالم، وتيسير أداء النُسك على ضيوف الرحمن.#يسر_وطمأنينة#لبيك_والسبل_ميسرة — الهيئة الملكية لمدينة مكة المكرمة والمشاعر المقدسة (@RCMC_KSA) June 6, 2025 As a result of these efforts, the Adahi Project achieved a record performance, with over 27,000 sacrifice rituals in the first hour of the Day of Eid, exceeding last year's hourly average of 18,000. Meanwhile, the total sacrifice rituals during the Day of Eid reached 287,067. KSrelief Contributions In another testament to Saudi Arabia's generosity and humanitarian solidarity, the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) launched its meat distribution project for Eid Al-Adha 2025 in Yemen, Syria, Somalia, and Sudan. In the Yemeni Governorate of Aden, 12,600 individuals benefited from the meat of 900 goat sacrifices. Furthermore, the project will distribute the meat of 500 sacrifices in Al-Mahrah Governorate to benefit 7,000 individuals. The KSrelief meat distribution project aims to reach 58,520 beneficiaries across Yemen's governorates of Aden, Hadhramaut, Al-Mahrah, and Marib. It aligns with KSrelief's humanitarian efforts to alleviate the suffering of the needy and promote social solidarity during Eid Al-Adha. Short link : Post Views: 166
