SINDH, PAKISTAN May 20, 2024 – Baitulmaal, a Dallas-based international humanitarian nonprofit, recently completed the construction of a masjid in the village Sain Dino Jat, serving around 200 people.

According to Elora Bashir, senior manager of program operations at Baitulmaal, this donor-sponsored project aims to meet the community’s need for a safe and accessible place to gather, pray, and connect. It also includes a water well to provide the community with a clean and reliable source of freshwater.

“This isn’t just about a building—it’s about providing a safe, welcoming place where our brothers and sisters can come together,” Bashir said. 

According to the World Bank, more than 75 percent  of Pakistan’s population lives in rural areas, where infrastructure remains critically underdeveloped.

In addition to building a Mosque in Pakistan, Baitulmaal has also provided Ramadan food packages, and fresh meat for Udhiyah, installed a water filtration plant, delivered emergency aid to flood victims, and supplied winter aid.

ACCRA, GHANA October 10, 2023 – Baitulmaal, a Dallas-based international humanitarian nonprofit, recently constructed a multi-purpose center benefitting 340 orphans in Ghana.

According to Elora Bashir, program operations manager at Baitulmaal, this project aims to provide a high-quality curriculum and empower orphans through education. It also serves as a dormitory for many children.

“In Ghana, orphans represent the most vulnerable demographic,” Bashir said. “They require protection and support through education and comfort.”

According to UNICEF, nearly 623,500 children of primary school age in Ghana are still not enrolled in primary school and one out of four children in the kindergarten age range are not in pre-school. This project is among the efforts to improve access to education for children in Ghana.

In addition to building schools in Ghana, Baitulmaal has also provided fresh meat for Udhiyah and provided Ramadan Food Packages. To learn more about or contribute to these efforts, visit johnjanney.org/.

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. 

Those interested in contributing to or fully funding a Build a Masjid project can visit johnjanney.org/build-a-masjid to learn more.

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.
