Sacrifice on target: Increase access to assistance in the interior

Eid al -Adha is one of the important moments in the Islamic calendar that is not only loaded with worship, but also with deep social values.

One of the main worship in this holiday is the slaughter of sacrificial animals. Sacrifice momentum is also a form of Muslim solidarity with others. However, the implementation of sacrifice should not only be focused on mere symbolism or ritual. Because what is more important is to ensure that the sacrificial animals that we slaughter can reach those in need, especially those who live in remote or inland areas.

In Indonesia, the geographical and demographic diversity of the people is still a challenge in distributing sacrificial animals on target. Many remote areas in the interior that still often have difficulty getting decent food access, especially to be able to enjoy sacrificial meat. Therefore, it is important for the institution, the organizing committee, or the party that organizes the sacrifice to ensure that the distribution of sacrificial meat is on target to the interior of Indonesia.

Challenges of sacrificial distribution to the interior

One of the biggest challenges in distributing and carrying out rural sacrifices is logistics issues. The territory of Indonesia consisting of thousands of separate ocean islands and areas that are difficult to reach by motorized vehicles or public transportation make the process of distribution of inland sacrifices very complex.

Some areas in the interior do not even have adequate road access, so large vehicles such as sacrificial animal transport trucks are difficult to enter the area.

In addition, unpredictable weather factors can also interfere with the achievement of sacrificial goals on target to the interior. Heavy rain or storm season often prevents the journey of the volunteers from the interior.

This unpredictable condition causes delays in the distribution of rural sacrificial animals. Not infrequently, the sacrifice that has been slaughtered in the city center in the end did not reach the hands of those who needed the most because of the logistics constraints.

Technology as a solution

With technological advances and innovations that continue to develop, the problem of sacrificial meat distribution can be overcome. At present, some social institutions and humanitarian organizations are starting to utilize digital technology to map remote areas that need sacrificial assistance to coordinate shipping more effectively.

Other technology uses are such as the use of map -based applications or GPS -based mapping systems so as to allow the distribution team to determine the fastest and safest routes to the interior.

In the current era, social media also plays an important role in raising public awareness about the importance of sacrifice on target to the interior. Through these social media platforms, social institutions can spread information about inland areas that need help and invite people to care more about the areas that have been neglected.

Examples such as sacrificial programs in the interior of the Bumi Mandiri human beings where sacrificials can choose and order sacrificial animals online to be sent to the interior. The sacrificial process will also be reported in realtime and can be watched through the Pekurban smartphone.

Collaboration with local parties

In addition to utilizing technology, the key to success in ensuring the sacrifice on the interior is to involve the local community. The reason is, local people who live in remote areas can better know the condition of their region and can provide accurate information about which regions need sacrificial meat.

By cooperating with local parties, the sacrificial organizers can maximize distribution and ensure that assistance to those who really need.

In addition, involving local communities also has another positive impact, namely economic empowerment. Like the sacrifice in the interior of the Insan Bumi Mandiri who bought sacrificial animals from local breeders in the interior.

The benefits of sacrifice on target

Sacrificial distribution on target to the interior can provide many benefits, both for sacrificial recipients and for the community as a whole.

For those who live in the interior, getting sacrificial animals or sacrificial meat means getting access to animal protein sources that are very important to meet nutrition. Moreover, beef or goat may be a food ingredient that they are difficult to get on ordinary days because of economic conditions.

In addition, inland sacrifice also functions as a unifying tool for the community. When the assistance of sacrificial meat reaches the interior, not only the sacrificial recipients feel helped, but also the entire community who will share the positive impact. Even through rural sacrifice there can be a closer social relationship between the community in the city and the community in the interior, which builds mutual care and sharing.

In essence, sacrificial worship is a momentum that is full of meaning for Muslims, and one of the biggest meanings of the sacrifice is social solidarity where sacrifice can be distributed right on target.

In order to ensure that the sacrifice is right on target in the interior, good cooperation is needed between social institutions, local communities, and efficient use of technology. With the right steps, the momentum of sacrificials and the Eid al-Adha holiday can be a means to create more equitable prosperity, not only for people in big cities, but also people who live in remote areas that have been difficult to reach.

In this case, we all have the responsibility to ensure that sacrificial worship is not just an annual ritual, but also a real form of concern for others, especially those who live in the interior.
