What is the difference between prepared meals and food packages?
Prepared meals answer an immediate eating need, while household packages provide ingredients or staples that can be used over a longer period.
What this means in practice
Meals require cooking, timing, packaging, transport, and food-safety coordination before handoff.
Packages require the household to store and prepare the contents.
Famidi chooses the format that fits the current setting rather than treating one as universally better.
How Famidi thinks about practical food support
Famidi uses locally informed food assistance: household staples, prepared meals, bread support, or a combined response chosen for the need, timing, access, and available field record.
A dated package or meal record should not be treated as a permanent menu, price promise, nutrition prescription, or claim about every Afghan household. Current conditions and individual needs vary.
