The Sinergi Foundation's Green Kurban 2026 program has brought joy to 48,183 beneficiaries during Eid al-Adha, with distributions extending from Indonesia to Palestine and Chad. The initiative, funded by 469 donors, focused on providing sacrificial meat while also empowering local farmers, ensuring fair distribution, and caring for the environment. This year, the program reached 65 distribution points across eight Indonesian provinces, including Aceh, West Java, and East Nusa Tenggara. In Palestine and Chad, where communities face humanitarian challenges and food shortages, the kurban meat offered vital sustenance. In Kampung Oeleon, a village in East Nusa Tenggara with economic limitations and a minority Muslim population, the arrival of sacrificial meat was a deeply anticipated event, strengthening community bonds and Islamic outreach. For Palestinian refugees, the meat, processed into canned form to ensure longevity and ease of distribution amidst ongoing crises, symbolized solidarity and hope. The program also supports local economies by purchasing livestock at fair prices and prioritizes environmental sustainability through eco-friendly packaging and tree-planting initiatives.
