ACCRA, GHANA June 20, 2025 — Baitulmaal, a Dallas-based international humanitarian nonprofit, recently distributed fresh meat that provided 2,000 meals to families across Ghana during Udhiyah.
Approximately 400 families living in Accra, Kumasi and Tamale received fresh meat from locally-sourced, humanely-slaughtered cows.
According to Ahmed Sherif, senior manager of international programs at Baitulmaal, most of the beneficiaries included widows, orphans, the elderly, displaced, and disabled people
“One father told us it was the first time in months his family sat together to enjoy a real meal with meat,” Sherif said. “This wasn’t just about food, it was a reminder of what it feels like to be cared for, and to be together.”
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), malnutrition affects nearly 19 percent of children under five in Ghana, making access to nutritious food like meat crucial for their growth and development.
In addition to providing fresh meat for Udhiyah, Baitulmaal has also provided Ramadan food packages in Ghana. To learn more about or contribute to these efforts, visit Baitulmaal.org.
