TELL ABYAD, SYRIA August 15, 2022 — Baitulmaal, a Dallas-based international humanitarian nonprofit, recently completed the restoration of the Khirbet Al-Riz school in Tell Abyad, Syria that benefits 550 Syrian refugee children.

The school, which consists of two buildings, one for preparatory and another for primary education, was damaged in the course of the more than decade-long Syrian civil war. The reconstruction began in November 2021 and the school reopened earlier this month.

According to Elizabeth Sohail, program manager at Baitulmaal, the school required new roofing, windows, doors, and bathroom facilities among other repairs. It was also outfitted with a new well that serves the neighboring community. Approximately 13,895 people benefit from the restoration.

“Whether it’s accessing safe, clean water or the opportunity that education brings, this school restoration has brought so much hope to this community,” Sohail said. “War destroys, but compassion rebuilds. There’s always hope where there’s compassion.”

The Syrian crisis has left more than 6 million internally displaced and another 6 million as refugees. Around 13.4 million people living within Syria – including those who are internally displaced – are in need of humanitarian assistance, according to the UN High Commissioner for Refugees. Millions of children have been out of school due to poverty, displacement and destruction. It is estimated that 7,000 schools have been damaged or destroyed during the course of the war.

Baitulmaal has been on the ground in Syria delivering food, digging wells, restoring schools, supporting orphans, helping students and distributing seasonal aid. To learn more about or contribute to these efforts, visit 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 Texas, the charity has domestic offices and representatives in California, Florida, Illinois, Michigan and New Jersey as well as international offices in Africa, South Asia and the Middle East.

IDLIB, SYRIA August 3, 2022 — Baitulmaal, a Dallas-based international humanitarian nonprofit, recently distributed fresh meat for 10,912 meals to displaced families in Northern Syria as part of the Islamic season of Udhiyah last month.

Approximately 1,760 families living in camps in the northern countryside were given fresh meat from locally-sourced and humanely-slaughtered sheep. Beneficiaries included widows, elderly and disabled Syrians. Orphans sponsored by Baitulmaal donors also received udhiyah distributions this year.

In many Muslim-majority countries, fresh meat is often procured through charitable gifts on occasions like the Udhiyah, a practice that commemorates Prophet Abraham’s sacrifice and takes place during the Hajj pilgrimage.  This year, Baitulmaal distributed fresh meat for approximately 160,000 meals to beneficiaries in various poverty-stricken and conflict ridden areas of the world. 

In addition to seasonal Islamic giving programs, Baitulmaal coordinates emergency aid efforts, water, hygiene and sanitation projects, orphan support programs and other humanitarian aid to under-served populations regardless of faith or nationality. To learn more or donate to these programs, visit 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 Texas, the charity has domestic offices and representatives in California, Florida, Illinois, Michigan and New Jersey as well as international offices in Africa, South Asia and the Middle East.

GAZIANTEP, TURKEY July 22, 2022 — Baitulmaal, a Dallas-based international humanitarian nonprofit, recently distributed fresh meat for 1,265 meals to Syrian refugee families living in Turkey as part of the Islamic season of Udhiyah earlier this month.

IDLIB, SYRIA April 11, 2022 — Baitulmaal, a Dallas-based international humanitarian nonprofit, recently completed the distribution of food packages that provide 249,240 meals to internally displaced families in Northern Syria in time for the Ramadan season.

Approximately 670 families living in Idlib, Ma’arat Masrin and other areas in Northern Syria received the food packages. Contents included rice, flour, lentils, pasta, canned vegetables, dates and cooking oil. According to Baitulmaal program manager Elizabeth Sohail, the majority of food package recipients were women and children who recently settled in refugee camps in Northern Syria.

“It is increasingly difficult for these families to secure basic necessities now that food prices are soaring,” Sohail said. “They were incredibly grateful to receive items like cooking oil and rice which they might not have been able to purchase otherwise.”

The Syrian crisis has left more than 6.9 million Syrians internally displaced and another 5.1 million as refugees. An estimated 13.4 million people living within Syria – including those who are internally displaced – are in need of humanitarian assistance. The UN refugee agency calls it “the biggest humanitarian and refugee crisis of our time and a continuing cause for suffering.”

Baitulmaal delivered approximately 4 million meals to those in need around the world this past Ramadan. The charity has also been on the ground in Syria mobilizing aid after destructive storms, delivering food, digging wells, supporting orphans, helping students and distributing seasonal aid. To learn more about or contribute to these efforts, visit Baitulmaal.org.

URFA, TURKEY, March 29, 2022 — Baitulmaal, a Dallas-based international humanitarian nonprofit, recently distributed winter relief to Syrian refugee families who arrived at the Turkish border town of Urfa.

Approximately 180 families received two heavy winter blankets each to help keep them warm. Many of the families live in the Al Jebeen refugee camp, but more than half are sheltering in caves on the outskirts of the settlement. Living conditions are especially harsh during winter months, according to Yousef Abdallah, Baitulmaal’s National Fundraising Director who recently visited the area.

“Some families sleep alongside animals at night in exchange for caring for them during the day because they have no other way to survive,” Abdallah said. “They were so grateful for the winter blankets they received to help keep them warm inside these cold and drafty caves.”

According to the UN Refugee Agency, Syria still has the largest displaced population in the world. More than 6.7 million people — including 2.5 million children — are displaced within Syria. Another 6.6 million Syrians live as refugees in neighboring countries such as Lebanon, Jordan and Turkey. More than 90 percent of refugees live in extreme poverty and lack essential needs and services such as food, water, shelter, and healthcare.

Baitulmaal has been on the ground in Syria mobilizing aid after destructive storms, delivering food, digging wells, supporting orphans, helping students and distributing zakat, clothing and gifts. If you would like to learn more about or contribute to Baitulmaal’s efforts in Syria, please visit their website at birelief.org.

Baitulmaal is an international humanitarian nonprofit 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 and representatives in: Los Angeles, California; Chicago, Illinois; Detroit, Michigan; Nairobi, Kenya; Mogadishu, Somalia; Amman and Al Ramtha, Jordan; and Karachi, Pakistan.
