WAJIR, KENYA April 19, 2025 – Baitulmaal, a Dallas-based international humanitarian nonprofit, recently distributed 720,000 liters of safe-drinking water in Kenya, benefiting more than 15,400 people and livestock in areas severely affected by prolonged droughts and insufficient rainfall.
According to Ahmed Sherif, senior manager of international programs at Baitulmaal, most of the beneficiaries included women, orphans, and people with disabilities living in Wajir County.
“Access to clean water is a basic human right, yet thousands in Wajir live without it,” said Sherif.“By delivering safe drinking water directly to these communities, we are helping close the gap in access to essential resources.”
According to the Kenyan Ministry of Water and Sanitation, more than 80% of Wajir County’s population faces chronic water shortages, with many relying on seasonal water pans and unprotected sources that are often unsafe for consumption.
In addition to responding to emergency aid in Kenya, Baitulmaal has also provided fresh meat for Udhiyah, and Ramadan Food Packages. To learn more about or contribute to these efforts, please visit Baitulmaal.org.
