BENIN, October 13, 2025 — Baitulmaal, a Dallas-based international humanitarian nonprofit, provided 100 vulnerable children in Benin with essential back to school kits to help ease barriers to returning to school.
According to Usama Rashed, head of West Africa programs at Baitulmaal, the kits included backpacks, uniforms, notebooks, stationery, shoes and other supplies.
“These are simple things, but they can remove a very real obstacle for a child preparing to return to school,” said Rashed. “We want students to begin the year with the essentials they need to participate fully in the classroom.”
According to UNICEF, nearly 4 in 10 children in Benin were living below the national poverty line.
The initiative supported continued school participation and strengthened access to education for underserved communities across West Africa.
