Approximately 3,412 families living in Ibb and Marib were given fresh meat from locally-sourced and humanely-slaughtered sheep and cows.

KABUL, AFGHANISTAN July 11, 2022 — Baitulmaal, a Dallas-based international humanitarian nonprofit, recently delivered emergency aid to 4,125 earthquake survivors in Afghanistan earlier this month.

Approximately 550 families in the Paktika province received food parcels which included flour, rice, cooking oil, milk, tea, sugar, and washing soap. Many of the people affected included women, children, disabled people, and impoverished families, according to Elizabeth Sohail, program development manager at Baitulmaal.

“Families in the earthquake zone have lost family members, homes, belongings,” Sohail said. “Providing humanitarian assistance is of utmost importance for the well-being and survival of families affected.”

On June 22, a 5.9 magnitude earthquake struck the eastern region of Afghanistan impacting the Paktika province. The earthquake – which was recorded at a depth of 10 km – was reportedly felt in neighboring provinces including Kabul, as well as in Islamabad, Pakistan and India.

Baitulmaal has been on the ground in Afghanistan mobilizing aid to affected areas.

Baitulmaal Selected to Administer Shireen Abu Akleh Scholarship

DALLAS, TEXAS May 24, 2022 — Baitulmaal, a Dallas-based international humanitarian nonprofit, was recently selected by a group of pro-Palestinian activists to administer the Shireen Abu Akleh Memorial Scholarship Fund that will benefit students studying to become journalists.

The scholarship was created by local community leaders and activists to honor the legacy of Shireen Abu Akleh, a prominent Palestinian-American journalist working for Al-Jazeera who was shot and killed on the job in Jenin, Palestine, on May 11, 2022.

According to the scholarship campaign page on LaunchGood, the drive behind this effort is to turn heartbreak into action by converting “sadness and anger into positive energy that does justice to Shireen, defies the occupation, and empowers young Palestinian women.”

Baitulmaal was approached by the campaign’s creators to facilitate the distribution of funds to qualified applicants, according to Baitulmaal’s executive director Mazen Mokhtar. While the details are still being finalized, likely scholarship recipients will be students studying journalism at Birzeit University in Shireen’s homeland of Palestine as well as Yarmouk University in Jordan, Shireen’s alma mater.

“We are extremely honored to be entrusted with ensuring that Shireen’s legacy continues,” Mokhtar said. “May her life shine the light on truth and her death inspire us to justice.” 

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; Tampa, Florida; Chicago, Illinois; Detroit, Michigan; Nairobi, Kenya; Mogadishu, Somalia; Amman and Al Ramtha, Jordan; and Karachi, Pakistan.

900 Iftar Meals Provided at Al-Aqsa During Ramadan

???? More photos below… ????

JERUSALEM, PALESTINE May 19, 2022 — Baitulmaal, a Dallas-based international humanitarian nonprofit, recently provided 900 iftar meals to Palestinians breaking their fast at the Al-Aqsa mosque during Ramadan.

The iftar, or meal to break the fast, took place on Saturday, April 30 and Sunday, May 1, 2022, during the last ten nights of Ramadan. These days are considered to be the holiest days of the month. Muslims believe that feeding a fasting person is a virtuous act rewarded by God, and rewards are multiplied during the last ten nights of Ramadan.

According to Baitulmaal program manager Elizabeth Sohail, the overwhelming response by donors enabled the charity to provide iftar meals for a second night.

“We were humbled by the number of people wanting to provide a meal for Palestinians during Ramadan,” Sohail said. “It is a beautiful thing to see people wishing others well and supporting them during difficult times.”

Palestinians face increased harassment and raids on the Al-Aqsa mosque at the hands of occupation forces during the month of Ramadan. Similar intrusion on the mosque compound last year led to the bombardment of Gaza, which killed more than 250 people, including 66 children.

Baitulmaal has been on the ground in Palestine providing food, water, medicine, healthcare, and other humanitarian and emergency aid to the people of Palestine. If you would like to learn more or contribute to these programs at Baitulmaal, please visit their website at johnjanney.org/.

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.

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).
