KARACHI, PAKISTAN, May 10, 2021 — Baitulmaal, a Dallas-based international humanitarian relief agency, recently completed the construction of three masajid and wells for impoverished communities in the Sujawal district of Pakistan, which are the inaugural projects of its new Build a Masjid program.

Due to donor demand, Baitulmaal started the new Build a Masjid program to provide communal spaces for impoverished communities that lack a place to gather for worship, discussions, and other socialization. The projects are usually paired with a new water well to provide the community with a safe, clean source of fresh water. 

The first three projects were initiated and funded by donors as a sadaqa jaariyah, or continuous charity, in loving memory of family members who have recently passed. 

Younis Khan, former captain of the Pakistan national cricket team and their current batting coach, helped raise funds for infrastructure development in Pakistan with a portion of these funds dedicated to Build a Masjid projects. A new community center and water source, the first resulting from this effort, are serving a population of 309 people in Sawan Tharani village who did not have access to clean drinking water or communal space in their remote area of Pakistan. In appreciation of Younis Khan’s efforts, the project was dedicated in honor of his mother, Khursheed Begum, who passed in 2019. 

The Riaz family lost their brother, Shaykh Azam Riaz, imam of Jesus, Son of Mary Mosque in New York, and father Dr. Mohammad Riaz within days of each other after long battles with COVID-19 last year. They raised funds through a crowdfunding campaign to build a masjid and well in each of their names. The masjid and well in Khameeso Mallah village, which was built in memory of their brother, serves a population of 238 people. The masjid and well in Meer Jat village, which was built in memory of their father, serves a population of 205 people.

As a faith-based humanitarian charity that provides aid to people in need regardless of faith or nationality, Baitulmaal coordinates masjid construction projects at the request of donors who fully fund them, but donors can also contribute to the Build a Masjid fund to support initiated projects. Baitulmaal does not use general funds for its Build a Masjid program.

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.

SINDH, PAKISTAN, April 22, 2021 — Baitulmaal, a Dallas-based international humanitarian relief agency, recently delivered food staples to provide 190,950 meals to underprivileged families in Pakistan, and more are currently being delivered to families struggling with hunger and food insecurity in other countries around the world.

Various distribution points in Pakistan provided food packages to 475 families, including the Sujawal, Tharparkar, and Noshahro Feroz districts in Sindh and the Mansehra district in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.  Aid recipients included widows and underserved families impacted by historic flooding in the last year.

The food packages, which include items such as rice, flour, lentils, potatoes and oil, were distributed for the Ramadan season, a time marked by fasting, charity and worship.

Approximately 1.9 billion Muslims around the world observe the month of Ramadan, but many among them suffer from extreme poverty due to conflict, displacement, natural and man-made disasters, as well as other social, political and economic factors. According to the World Bank, this year saw an increase in poverty levels worldwide — the first rise in a generation of declining levels — due to the global pandemic, conflict, and climate change.

Although poverty was on the decline in Pakistan over the past 15 years, Pakistani government officials expect 10 million more people to fall under the poverty line this year due to the global pandemic and national economic downturn. This will bring those living in poverty up to 60 million across Pakistan. COVID-19 was just one factor impacting families in Pakistan. Last year saw one of the worst monsoon seasons in Pakistan, which killed 400, injured hundreds more, and displaced an estimated 200,000. 

Baitulmaal provides food, water, medicine, healthcare and other aid to people in Pakistan, and plans to deliver 3.9M meals during the 2021 Ramadan season to those in need around the world. The charity also collects and distributes zakat funds on behalf of their donors. If you would like to learn more or contribute to these 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.

KARACHI, PAKISTAN, February 19, 2021 — Baitulmaal, a Dallas-based international humanitarian relief agency, recently delivered winter kits to 800 villagers in rural Pakistan experiencing an unusually long period of cold this winter.

Warm clothes, shoes and blankets were distributed to 450 children, 150 women, and 200 men in rural villages in the Sindh province. These include Jati, Sawan Tharani, Salah Pusiyo, Khameeso Mallah, Abdullah Mallah, Liyar Jat, Hassan Mallah, and the Sujawal District.

According to meteorologists in the region, colder than usual temperatures were predicted, with some areas experiencing below freezing conditions. The colder, drier weather follows an extreme monsoon season and locust invasions which destroyed crops and displaced families last year. The situation was compounded by the coronavirus pandemic, which further impacted aid efforts.

Elizabeth Sohail, program manager at Baitulmaal, said that many of the villagers were ill-equipped to withstand the cold.

“This year has been unseasonably cold in many regions,” Sohail said. “Many families in these villages needed shoes and jackets to protect against bone-chilling temperatures.”

Baitulmaal has been on the ground in some of the aforementioned villages digging water wells funded by donors in recent months. This enabled field workers to mobilize quickly to deliver the latest round of winter relief to affected communities. 

Donors who would like to learn more or contribute to winter relief programs at Baitulmaal can 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.

KARACHI, PAKISTAN, January 28, 2021 — Baitulmaal, a Dallas-based international humanitarian relief agency, recently completed the construction of 10 new hand-pump wells providing water to over 2,600 individuals in villages in rural Pakistan.

Each well was funded by a generous Baitulmaal donor. Below is a list of villages and each corresponding dedication as well as the number of villagers who now have access to safe, clean water.

  • Jumu Mallah, in memory of Isahak Shaikh and Azimuhanisa Shaikh, accessible to 250 villagers.
  • Kheero Shah, in memory of Naeem Kazi and Qamar Kazi, accessible to 179 villagers.
  • Allah Bachayo Bhatti, donated by the Mohammad family, accessible to 300 villagers.

The new wells follow the construction of 10 wells in Pakistan earlier this year. More on those wells can be found here.

“We are touched by the outpouring of support for well projects,” said Elizabeth Sohail, programs manager at Baitulmaal. “It’s incredible how we can come together to keep the clean water flowing.”

Earlier this month, Baitulmaal announced the completion of its first solar-powered, deep-water well in Yemen in a live-streamed event with Carson Caldwell, a cross-country cyclist who raised awareness for Yemen and in whose name the well was dedicated.

According to the World Bank, access to improved water sources in Pakistan has been on the decline in recent years. This has been compounded by a historic monsoon season last year, which flooded the region and drove people from their homes in search of dry land and clean drinking water. Worldwide, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that 780 million people lack access to clean water.

Funding improved water sources can help reverse the trend, according to Elizabeth Sohail, programs manager at Baitulmaal.

“These 10 wells will provide clean drinking water for more than 2 million meals every year,” said Sohail. “Our donors are playing an essential role in pushing back against contaminated water and the waterborne illnesses it causes.”

Donors who are interested in water access projects or in dedicating a well to honor a loved one can visit Baitulmaal.org to learn more.
