AL-HUDAIDAH, YEMEN, January 14, 2021 — Baitulmaal, a Dallas-based international humanitarian relief agency, recently completed the construction of a solar-powered, deep-water well that provides clean water to 3,015 people in the Yahya Yousef village of Yemen’s Al-Hudaidah governorate.

The well, which is 120 meters deep, uses solar energy to power a pump that fills two 3,000 liter tanks. Approximately 450 families now have access to uncontaminated water through multiple taps at the base of the tanks. This enables them to fill jerry cans and bottles with clean water for drinking, washing and cooking.

The $25,000 well is the first one of its kind established by the charity in the region, according to Elizabeth Sohail, programs manager at Baitulmaal.

“Water projects are really special to our hearts,” Sohail said. “This project will go on for a long time to bless family after family and generation after generation.”

In a live-streamed update on Baitulmaal’s relief efforts in Yemen, Sohail revealed that the well was dedicated in honor of Carson Caldwell, a cross-country cyclist who embarked on a journey from Pennsylvania to California to raise awareness about the Yemen humanitarian crisis and to raise funds for emergency aid efforts through Baitulmaal.

“You can just see the effect that something so simple like water can have to people who really need it,” Carson said during the event. “It’s beautiful to know that this charity, Baitulmaal, is in these places where it’s difficult to bring aid to certain parts of the world. It’s incredible to see the work being done in Yemen and it’s such an honor to be associated with it.”

In 2000, the World Bank stated that Yemen was experiencing a “dire and worsening water situation.” Since then, conflict, climate change, a cholera epidemic and a global pandemic have left the country’s residents, many of whom are internally displaced, even more vulnerable. According to the UN, over 80% of the population relies on humanitarian aid, and more than half of the population does not have access to clean water.

Since 2018, Baitulmaal has sent over $10.4 million in aid that provided meals, antibiotics, medical supplies, winter relief, water and hygiene kits to Yemen. If you would like to learn more or contribute to the emergency aid programs at Baitulmaal, please visit their website at Baitulmaal.org.

Baitulmaal is an international humanitarian aid organization that provides life-saving, life-sustaining and life-enriching aid to people in need around the world. With headquarters in Dallas, Texas, the charity has offices in: Los Angeles, California; Chicago, Illinois; Detroit, Michigan; Nairobi, Kenya; Mogadishu, Somalia; Amman and Al Ramtha, Jordan; and Karachi, Pakistan.

BEIRUT, LEBANON, December 17, 2020 — Dallas-based charity Baitulmaal, along with Chicago-based healthcare access organization MedGlobal, delivered the second round of medications to Rafik Hariri University Hospital in Beirut that included hard-to-find medicines for 200 patients who were injured in the August 4 blast.

One hundred emergency patients, along with another one hundred patients with non-communicable diseases, will receive a three-month supply of critical medications free of charge in the latest shipment of aid. According to Dr. Firas Abiad, general manager of Rafik Hariri University Hospital, many medications have been in short supply since the August 4 explosion in the Beirut port, and medications such as heparin have been out of stock for the past several months.

The medications are part of Baitulmaal’s $686,000 emergency aid package to Lebanon, which includes food, water, hygiene kits, and financial assistance to families in need, in addition to clean-up efforts initiated after the blast.

The World Health Organization lists the victims of the August 4 blast as 203 people dead, another 6,500 injured and over 300,000 homeless. The explosion also severely damaged Lebanon’s critical health infrastructure and led to a shortage of medical supplies.

In addition to providing hospitals with medications, Baitulmaal is reconstructing homes of vulnerable families affected by the blast. Part of this effort is also rehabilitating portions of hospitals that were destroyed. Donations for Lebanon can be made at birelief.org/donate.

Baitulmaal is an international humanitarian aid organization that provides life-saving, life-sustaining and life-enriching aid to people in need around the world. With headquarters in Dallas, the charity has offices in Los Angeles, Chicago and Detroit as well as international offices in Jordan, Kenya and Pakistan.

IDLIB, SYRIA, December 8, 2020 — Baitulmaal, a Dallas-based international humanitarian aid organization, distributed bread for 94,677 meals to displaced families in northern Syria.

Baitulmaal field workers distributed 6,275 bags of fresh-baked bread to 575 Syrian households in rural Idlib, prioritizing those with children, elderly or disabled members as well as families who have not yet received humanitarian assistance. Local governments have reduced bread subsidies despite food prices continuing to soar, creating a difficult situation for Syrian families.

According to the UN, more than 9.3 million people are suffering from food insecurity in Syria, an increase of 1.4 million since last year. Recent rains have damaged tents of displaced Syrians ahead of the winter season, further exacerbating the humanitarian crisis.

Last year, Baitulmaal delivered 754,602 meals to displaced Syrian families living in make-shift camps. The charity also installed gas stove heaters in Syrian schools to provide warmth to 560 students, in addition to installing solar power systems in three schools that provide education to 2,285 students.

Donors interested in giving to help people in Syria can donate online at birelief.org/donate.

724,680 Meals Delivered to Families in Yemen

Baitulmaal · December 3, 2020 ·

[et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”3.22.3″ custom_padding=”0px|||||”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.25″][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”https://birelief.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Yemen-food-1.jpg” title_text=”Yemen-food-1″ align=”center” _builder_version=”4.7.3″][/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.6.6″ custom_padding=”||0px|||”]

IBB, YEMEN, December 3, 2020 — Baitulmaal, a Dallas-based international humanitarian aid organization, with funding support from global activism nonprofit Avaaz, distributed 1,342 food packages providing an estimated 724,680 meals to families suffering from acute malnutrition during the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Yemen.

The aid is in response to food insecurity experienced by refugee and host communities in Ibb – Directorate of Dhihar and Al-Mishnah Al Hudayda – Al Barea District, with the focus on women-headed households and financially marginalized families. The food baskets contained staples such as flour, rice, sugar, oil and canned vegetables for a total of 8,052 individuals.

Elizabeth Sohail, programs manager at Baitulmaal, said the food delivery is part of a larger effort to get critical aid to displaced families facing worsening hardships in Yemen.

“People there are hungrier, sicker, and more vulnerable,” said Sohail. “These food packages can be the difference between life and death for many families.”

The United Nations describes Yemen as the world’s largest humanitarian crisis, with 80 percent of the population reliant on humanitarian aid. According to their Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) analysis of malnutrition in southern Yemen, acute cases in children under five reached a new high, increasing about 10 percent in 2020 to more than half a million. This rise is due in part to recent flooding, escalating conflict, economic decline, significant underfunding and the coronavirus pandemic.

United Nations Secretary General António Guterres issued a statement on November 20, 2020, that “Yemen is now in imminent danger of the worst famine the world has seen for decades” and that millions of people could die without immediate action. Sofia Latif, senior operations officer at Avaaz, said teaming up with Baitulmaal was an avenue to provide essential life-saving support.

“Yemen is being ravaged by civil war, a cholera epidemic, massive starvation and now a global pandemic,” said Latif. “We felt an imperative to work with a reputable charity to get food to the starving and water to the thirsty in hopes that we can save lives that might otherwise be lost through inaction.”

Since 2018, Baitulmaal has sent over $5.6 million in aid that provided meals, antibiotics, medical supplies, and hygiene kits to Yemen. If you would like to learn more or contribute to the emergency aid programs at Baitulmaal, please visit their website at Baitulmaal.org.
