ACCRA, GHANA, October 14, 2025 — Baitulmaal, a Dallas-based international humanitarian nonprofit, recently distributed essential back-to-school kits to 200 underserved students in Ghana.
According to Usama Rashed, head of West Africa program at Baitulmaal, the kits included a backpack, uniforms, notebooks, stationery, shoes and other supplies to help vulnerable children return to school.
“We hope these kits remind every student that their education matters and that they have people supporting their journey,” said Rashed.
According to UNICEF, nearly 1.2 million school-aged children in Ghana remain out of school, with poverty, disability and geographic location among the strongest drivers of exclusion.
The Back to School project aimed to address one of the challenges that can prevent children from attending school: limited access to essential educational supplies. By providing students with the materials they need to begin the academic year, Baitulmaal helped them start school prepared with dignity and hope.
In addition to distributing back to school kits in Ghana, Baitulmaal has also provided Ramadan food packages and fresh meat for Udhiyah. To learn more about or contribute to these efforts, visit Baitulmaal.org.
