Octa provides charity support in celebration of Eid al-Adha
Keeping true to our social responsibility mission, we joined in the celebration of one of the most important holidays in the Islamic tradition, Eid al-Adha, or ‘The Feast of Sacrifice,’ by supporting the communities in need in Indonesia and Malaysia.
In Indonesia, Octa joined forces with IDEP Foundation, feeding more than 400 people at Banjar Pebuahan, Bali. With Octa's funding, IDEP bought three cows and distributed the meat among the local Muslims. This charity effort targeted families affected by coastal abrasion and high waves.
In Malaysia, Octa worked closely with Azeehan, a broker's local partner and the driving force behind many charity initiatives, to distribute the Qurbani meat of two cows in Kelantan. Thanks to this humanitarian effort, about 300 people received the much-needed food.
‘In Islam, sharing Qurban meat among the underprivileged to alleviate hunger and poverty has always been regarded as a noble and righteous endeavour. We are thankful to Octa for sponsoring this act of kindness and supporting the local community,’ Azeehan said.
