Muhammadiyah Distributes 650 Korban Meat Packages to Marginalized Groups in Yogyakarta

The Majelis Pemberdayaan Masyarakat (MPM) of the central leadership of Muhammadiyah has distributed 650 packages of korban meat to marginalized communities in Yogyakarta and surrounding areas during the Eid al-Adha celebration. This initiative is part of the "Sharing Goodness with Muhammadiyah Grassroots Network" program, now in its fourth year.

Dr. M. Nurul Yamin, Chairman of MPM PP Muhammadiyah, stated that the joint korban activity has consistently provided happiness to assisted communities during both Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha. This year's event, held at the UAD Campus on May 30, 2026, saw the slaughter of 54 goats and 8 cows, sourced from partners and individuals contributing to the korban. The number of animals sacrificed increased compared to previous years.

This korban event with the assisted communities of MPM Muhammadiyah has been going on for the fourth time. Every holiday, whether it is Eid al-Adha or Eid al-Fitr, MPM always holds a sharing of happiness with the assisted communities managed together with the assisted communities in the Special Region of Yogyakarta and its surroundings.

Muhammadiyah collaborated with the Yogyakarta City Government's abattoir to ensure a professional and hygienic process for the meat preparation. Yamin noted the increased number of animals this year reflects growing public trust in Muhammadiyah to distribute korban meat to those who are entitled to receive it.

The 650 packages of korban meat will be distributed to 11 beneficiary groups. These include communities of people with disabilities across various regions, the Muhammadiyah Farmers Association (Jatam), fishing groups in Gunungkidul and Bantul, waste collectors involved in managing waste at the Piyungan Regional Waste Processing Site, palm sugar producers from Kulonprogo, and street vendor groups in Yogyakarta City. The program underscores Muhammadiyah's dedication to social welfare and community empowerment.

The animals we are slaughtering today are more than in previous years, and this shows the trust of the community in Muhammadiyah to entrust their korban animals for distribution to the rightful recipients.
