Accra: As part of its 2025 Eid-al-Adha activities, TUDEC, in partnership with Europe-based humanitarian organization Time to Help and other non-governmental organizations, has distributed meat to members of the public nationwide. The initiative saw 600 livestock sacrificed across 22 designated locations, reaching more than 18,000 families, including persons with disabilities.

According to Ghana News Agency, the Qurban program was conducted in close collaboration with local municipalities, traditional leaders, and Imams, ensuring effective organization and cultural sensitivity in every region involved. Mr. Elvie Zoko, a French teacher at Galaxy International School, which is a sister institution of TUDEC Development Centre, emphasized that Eid al-Adha is a time of sharing and standing in solidarity with those in need. He noted that the distribution aimed to reflect the true spirit of the festival-compassion, unity, and community.

Mr. Zoko further mentioned that TUDEC is committed to promoting humanitarian values through educational, social, and charitable initiatives and plans to expand its outreach in the coming years. He stated that the meat was intended for everyone in need, regardless of faith, and that the organization offers assistance to those unable to express their needs.

The initiative also provides a platform to offer scholarship schemes for beneficiaries’ wards into Galaxy International School, which offers a comprehensive educational experience. Mr. David Asante, a beneficiary and person with disability, expressed gratitude for the annual exercise, highlighting its importance in providing him and his family with good meals.

Madam Ajara Musah, a 65-year-old mother of five and a person with disability living on the streets, also benefitted from the exercise and expressed her appreciation. She prayed for blessings upon TUDEC and its partners, valuing the initiative’s impact on her family’s well-being.
