1. Introduction: The festival of Eid-Ul- Adha marks the end of the sacred Hajj pilgrimage. Muslims around the world commemorate the obedience of the prophet Ibrahim (PBUH) by scarifying an animal. Many Muslim families live under the poverty level. They are to survive and manage their daily livelihoods with hardship. They cannot even get regular meals a day.

Each year, Gram Unnayan Sangstha with sponsor of different international donors and partners help Muslims carry out Qurban on their behalf.
