TAIZ, YEMEN October 15, 2025 – Baitulmaal, a Dallas-based international humanitarian nonprofit, recently completed the construction of a borehole well in Yemen that provides clean water to 400 families.
The 130-meter-deep well was built in a remote village in Taiz. According to Ahmed Sherif, senior manager of international programs at Baitulmaal, the community has faced severe water shortages for years due to conflict, damaged infrastructure, and climate impacts. The new borehole now offers a reliable source of clean, safe water for families in the area.
“Every day, women and children walk long distances just to collect a few liters of water,” Sherif said. “Seeing this well finally deliver clean, steady water to the community is deeply meaningful.”
According to UNDP, more than 14.5 million people in Yemen currently lack access to safe drinking water and sanitation services
In addition to constructing borehole wells in Yemen, Baitulmaal has also provided fresh meat for Udhiyah, distributed Ramadan food packages, delivered more than $4 million in medical aid, constructed solar-powered water wells, and provided winter aid and hygiene kits in Yemen.
