Abou El-Enein Foundation Distributes 250,000 Kilos of Eid Meat Nationwide
By Ahmad El-Assasy Quarter-million kilos of Qurbani meat to reach vulnerable families in nationwide charity campaign The Abou El-Enein Foundation for Social and Cultural Development continues its large-scale humanitarian campaign to distribute Eid al-Adha meat across all Egyptian governorates, in partnership with the National Alliance for Civil Development Work. The campaign, which began nearly a month ago, aims to distribute a total of 250,000 kilograms of high-quality meat to low-income and vulnerable families as part of the foundation's ongoing social support efforts. Each day, as festive chants and spiritual celebrations of Eid fill the air, families gather at the foundation's main centres in Giza, Ard El-Lewa, and other governorates across the country to receive their share of 'Eid meat.' All sacrificial animals are carefully selected from premium Egyptian cattle breeds of medium weight. Slaughtering, processing, and packaging are carried out under strict health and quality standards, operating around the clock to ensure meat safety and freshness upon delivery. The campaign is powered by a large network of dedicated volunteers and foundation staff, who have worked tirelessly for months — without breaks or holidays — to prepare for the initiative. Their efforts are directly guided by Mohamed Abou El-Enein, Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives and Chairman of the Foundation, alongside Somaya Abou El-Enein, Vice-Chair of the Foundation. Emphasis has been placed on welcoming recipients with dignity, streamlining the distribution process, and ensuring a joyful and respectful atmosphere throughout the campaign. This initiative reflects the foundation's long-standing commitment to supporting underprivileged communities and promoting inclusive development through sustained charitable outreach. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan
