SENEGAL, October 12, 2025 — Baitulmaal, a Dallas-based international humanitarian nonprofit, recently distributed essential back-to-school kits to 100 vulnerable children across Senegal.
According to Usama Rashed, head of West Africa programs at Baitulmaal, the kits included backpacks, uniforms, notebooks, stationery, shoes to help vulnerable children return to school.
“Every child should be able to walk into the classroom feeling prepared and proud,” said Rashed. “For families facing financial hardship, having the basic school supplies can make a meaningful difference.”
According to UNICEF, 61 percent of children of primary-school age in Senegal attend primary school, highlighting the continued need to support access to education.
In addition to distributing back-to-school kits to children in Senegal, Baitulmaal has also provided fresh meat for Udhiyah and distributed medical and surgical supplies. To learn more about or contribute to these efforts, visit Baitulmaal.org.
