SANA’A, YEMEN June 21, 2025 — Baitulmaal, a Dallas-based international humanitarian nonprofit, recently distributed fresh meat providing 7,126 meals to impoverished families across Yemen during the season of Udhiyah.
Approximately 1,063 families living in Alhudaidah, Marib, and Sana’a received fresh meat from locally-sourced, humanely-slaughtered cows.
Many of the beneficiaries included orphans’ families, children, and women, according to Elora Bashir, senior manager of program operations at Baitulmaal.
“For children who’ve lost parents and women struggling to feed their families, this fresh meat meant more than nourishment, it meant someone cares,” Bashir said. “It gave them a reason to smile on Eid.”
According to UNICEF, more than 2.4 million children in Yemen are acutely malnourished, including over 500,000 suffering from severe acute malnutrition.
In addition to providing fresh meat for Udhiyah, Baitulmaal has also distributed Ramadan food packages, delivered more than $4 million in medical aid, constructed solar-powered water wells, and provided emergency aid in Yemen.
