KARACHI, PAKISTAN April 15, 2024 — Baitulmaal, a Dallas-based international humanitarian nonprofit, recently distributed food packages that provided 240,000 meals to families in Pakistan in time for the Ramadan season.

Food packages were delivered to approximately families living in various villages in the Sindh province. The packages included items such as rice, flour, salt, vermicelli, spices, lentils, and cooking oil.

According to Elora Bashir, program operations manager at Baitulmaal, beneficiaries included many families with young children and the elderly.

“Families smiled from ear to ear as they received their food package just in time for Ramadan,” Bashir said. “This month will be a time of reflection and a time of nourishment for families in Pakistan.”

According to UNICEF, one year after unprecedented floods ravaged Pakistan, millions of children still needed humanitarian assistance and access to essential services. Approximately 2 million homes were lost in the Sindh province alone.

In addition to food assistance in Pakistan, Baitulmaal responds to emergencies such as flooding and earthquakes, provides seasonal aid, and facilitates water access projects such as water filtration plants and wells.
