ACCRA, GHANA June 20, 2024 — Baitulmaal, a Dallas-based international humanitarian nonprofit, recently distributed fresh meat for 4,000 meals to impoverished families in Ghana as part of the Islamic season of Udhiyah.
Approximately 800 families living in Ghana received fresh meat from locally-sourced and humanely-slaughtered cows.
The beneficiaries included orphan families, the elderly, and people living with disabilities, according to Ahmed Sherif, international offices manager Baitulmaal.
“Everyone deserves to experience the blessings of Eid-ul-Adha,” said Sherif. “Families in Ghana left smiling ear to ear ready to enjoy the fresh meal for the day.”
According to the UN World Food Program, a main driver of hunger and malnutrition in Ghana is poverty; inefficient food systems are keeping poverty and food insecurity rates high with approximately 24.2 percent of the population in Ghana living below the national poverty line.
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.

With headquarters in Texas, the charity has domestic offices and representatives in California, Florida, Illinois, Michigan and New Jersey as well as international offices in Europe, Africa, South Asia, and the Middle East.
