TUDEC Development Centre (TUDEC), a non-governmental organisation (NGO) for scientific, cultural, charitable and educational purposes, celebrated this year’s Eid-al-Adha with thousands of needy Ghanaians across the country.

The celebration was marked as part of TUDEC’s corporate social responsibility.

The organisation, which is well known for this yearly act of humanitarianism, slaughtered about 480 cattle for the needy.

Mr. G. Abdulhamid, a representative of TUDEC, said the meat slaughtering exercise was not only done in Accra but extended to Kumasi, Cape Coast, Tamale, Takoradi and its surroundings.

During Eid-al-Adha, Muslims across the globe show compassion and good neighbourliness. They slaughter cattle according to Islamic tradition and share it with all and sundry.

The festival ensures that even those who can’t afford meat get plenty of it at least once a year.

Mr. Abdulhamid said over the years, the organisation had engaged in various humanitarianism activities across the country, because it was built on the principle of love, tolerance and peaceful co-existence.

The celebration was done in collaboration with Time to Help e.V, a non-profit organisation based in Germany.

The recipients of the meat were happy and encouraged the organisers to continue reaching out to others.
