Hoopo is a social enterprise that transforms impoverished communities through the power of work.
Our unique investment model creates jobs that break the reliance on handouts, while delivering a return to our supporters as well.
We put your kindness where it counts.
Gift happier, healthier lives
We've helped reduce hunger in over 60 villages since 2019.
Last Eid, Hoopo helped gift Qurbani meat to 4,000 people across 1,600 families in 60 villages in rural Pakistan.
50% of the profits from raising and slaughtering Qurbani cattle go directly back into the hands of local farmers.
More than just meat
Your Qurbani donation also provides families access to weekly solar-power freezers to store their meat, which can preserve it up to 6 months after Eid.
For many families, this means they can eat meat more than once a year!
The cattle also provide local farmers with higher paying jobs, clean methane for cooking, and renewable energy and fertilizer for better crops.
Frequently asked questions
How does this work?
Your Qurbani/Udhiya price includes all the costs. Livestock are pre-allocated and paid for, and are hygienically and ethically treated. Hoopo oversees the rearing of the specific animal for the 4 to 6 months before Eid. The cattle are sacrificed during the 10th to 13th days of Dhul Hijjah. The meat is immediately distributed to people, prioritised by need. The remaining meat is frozen in solar-powered freezers to provide severely malnourished families with 2 kg of packaged meat every week.
What do Qurbani and Udhiya mean?
The words Qurbani, Udhiya and Zabiha in Arabic refer to a sacrifice made in an effort to come close to God, honouring the act of submission made by Prophet Ibrahim. The words Qurbani and Udhiya are used interchangeably. In commemoration of his sacrifice, we sacrifice from our wealth every Eid ul-Adha and share our blessings with people in need.
Who receives the Qurbani meat?
Widows, orphans, the destitute, the elderly, people with disabilities, refugees and disaster-affected or conflict-affected populations. Priority is given to those facing malnutrition and those who do not have regular access to meat. Many recipients live in hard-to-reach or remote areas, and we make every effort to reach them.
Where does the Qurbani take place?
In Goth Khan Sahab, Mehrabpur, Naushahro Feroze, Sindh 67211, Pakistan. The meat is distributed to the poor and needy in this and neighbouring villages, around 60 villages in recent years.
What kind of animals are sacrificed, and how is the cost determined?
Cows or buffaloes. One Qurbani order equals one seventh of a cow or buffalo. The cost covers procurement and transport of the animal, slaughter, cleaning, packaging and transaction fees. Any profit is shared between the local farmers (50%), the individuals who helped procure the cattle (40%) and the local entity that procured and distributed the cattle to the farmers (10%). Any loss is borne solely by the investors. Hoopo is a not-for-profit and takes nothing for the organisation or its volunteers.
What day is the Qurbani, and when can I trim my nails and cut my hair?
Hoopo performs the Qurbani on the first day of Eid al-Adha (10th of Dhul Hijjah) and the days of Tashriq (11th to 13th). Within some schools of thought it is recommended to avoid cutting hair and nails from the 1st of Dhul Hijjah until your Qurbani is performed. As Hoopo performs all sacrifices between the 10th and 13th, it is safest to wait until sunset on the 13th, although every effort is made to complete the sacrifice on the 10th.
