LOME, TOGO June 19, 2024 — Baitulmaal, a Dallas-based international humanitarian nonprofit, recently distributed fresh meat for 4,000 meals to impoverished families in Togo as part of the Islamic season of Udhiyah.
Approximately 800 families living in Lome and Sokode Cities in Southern and Middle regions received fresh meat from locally-sourced and humanely-slaughtered cows.
The beneficiaries included orphan families and people living with disabilities, according to Ahmed Sherif, international offices manager at Baitulmaal.
“Many of the beneficiaries served have not had fresh meat in months,” said Sherif. “Our donors nourished bodies and souls during this celebratory time of Eid.”
According to the World Food Programme, 22 percent of the population in Togo require humanitarian assistance and over 280,000 people are at risk of falling into hunger.
In addition to providing fresh meat for Udhiyah, Baitulmaal has also provided Ramadan food packages in Togo. To learn more about or contribute to these efforts, visit Baitulmaal.org.
