KABUL, AFGHANISTAN May 17, 2022 — Baitulmaal, a Dallas-based international humanitarian nonprofit, recently delivered 500 food packages that provided 225,000 meals for impoverished families in Afghanistan during Ramadan.

More than 3,700 Afghans living in the mountainous region of Badakhshan received food packages that contained flour, sugar, oil and dates. According to Elizabeth Sohail, program director at Baitulmaal, many of the families were landless and had no income sources. Recipients included orphans, widows, amputees and the elderly.

“These families live in geographically difficult places to reach, and they were in great need of this food assistance,” Sohail said. “They were so grateful to donors who ensured that families like theirs were included in Ramadan giving.”

Baitulmaal delivered approximately 4 million meals to those in need around the world this past Ramadan. The food distribution in Afghanistan was coordinated with the local Afghan-American-founded Education and Occupation Committee (EOC). The two charities have been working together to address the needs of Afghan families in crisis.

SANAA, YEMEN May 12, 2022 — Baitulmaal, a Dallas-based international humanitarian nonprofit, recently distributed 1,000 food packages that provided 402,000 Ramadan meals to impoverished families in Yemen.

The food packages were distributed in Taiz and Marib to families suffering from food insecurity amid the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Yemen. Many of the families have been unable to procure basic goods like rice, sugar, and oil due to soaring prices and food shortages in the region. The food packages contained these items in addition to canned goods and other non-perishable foods to sustain families through the month of Ramadan, according to Baitulmaal program director Elizabeth Sohail.

“It’s hard enough for anyone to find many of these items in Yemen, let alone families with no way to afford them,” Sohail said. “Thanks to our generous donors, we were able to come through for these families just in time for Ramadan.”

Baitulmaal delivered approximately 4 million meals to those in need around the world this past Ramadan. The charity also provides food, water, healthcare and other humanitarian aid to people in Yemen.

NAIROBI, KENYA April 29, 2022 — Baitulmaal, a Dallas-based international humanitarian nonprofit, recently delivered 1,250 food packages that provided 292,500 meals to families in Wajir County, Kenya during Ramadan.

The food package distribution is part of Baitulmaal’s emergency drought response in East Africa. Kenya and Somalia in particular have been severely impacted by drought, leading to loss of livestock and livelihoods. These food packages help sustain families through the month of Ramadan, according to Baitulmaal program director Elizabeth Sohail.

“Many women in Kenya walk more than 4 hours to fetch water from nearly dry wells and struggle to put food on the table,” Sohail said. “Thanks to generous donors, Baitulmaal has been on the ground in Kenya providing emergency water supplies in addition to food assistance in Ramadan.”

Baitulmaal delivered approximately 4 million meals to those in need around the world this past Ramadan. The charity also provides food, water, healthcare and other aid to families in East Africa.

MOGADISHU, SOMALIA April 27, 2022 — Baitulmaal, a Dallas-based international humanitarian nonprofit, recently delivered 930 food packages that provided 329,220 meals to impoverished families in the Mudug region of Somalia.

The food package distribution is part of Baitulmaal’s emergency drought response in East Africa. Somalia and Kenya in particular have been severely impacted by drought, leading to loss of livestock and livelihoods. The water emergency has lead to higher rates of food insecurity in the region, according to Baitulmaal program director Elizabeth Sohail.

“Many families lost entire herds of animals and with them, sources of income,” Sohail said. “Thankfully, we’ve been able to provide emergency water and food assistance especially in time for Ramadan, and we plan to continue our work here because so much more needs to be done.”
