TUDEC gifts meat to over 10,000 families in Accra, Kumasi & Tamale for Eid

 




More than 10,800 families in Accra, Kumasi,  Cape Coast, Tamale, Takoradi and its surroundings have received parcels of beef from the Tudec Development Centre (TUDEC) as token gesture for the Eid-Al-Adha celebration.

The celebration was marked as part of its corporate social responsibility.

The association, which is well known for this yearly act of humanitarianism, slaughtered about 480 cows. The meat slaughtering exercise was not only done in Accra but extended to Kumasi, Cape Coast, Tamale, Takoradi and its surroundings.

In a speech read on his behalf, the Managing Director of TUDEC, Yussif Temizkhan, said diversity was a permanent human feature which could be used to solidify relationships for effective socio-economic development when carefully thought through.

He said TUDEC had over the years devised strategic methods of an all-inclusive Eid celebration to ensure that Ghanaians reaped the benefits of diversity, stressing that the organisation was anchored on the principles of love, tolerance, growth and compassion.

All religions believe that giving comes with its own luck and blessings, so we always try to share more to attract more blessings. It’s not possible to reach everyone in Ghana, but we try as much as possible to reach as many as we can,” Temizkhan said.

Aside the Eid celebration, Temizkhan said the association also distributed food items to people during Christmas, as well as during the month of Ramadan.

He said occasionally, the association held inter-religious and cultural dialogues to discuss religious and cultural unity in the country to foster religious tolerance and coexistence.

During Eid -Al-Adha, Muslims across the globe show compassion and good neighborliness. They slaughter cows 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.

Over the years, the association has engaged in various humanitarianism activities across the country. The association is 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 organization based in Germany.

It was mainly to support the underprivileged in society during the festive occasion. The recipients of the meat were happy and encouraged the organizers to continue reaching out to others.

TUDEC is an international organisation which was established in Ghana in 2011 to promote trade activities between Turkey and Ghana, and to also offer social and humanitarian services in the country.
