Should aid recipients’ names be published?

Reviewed by Famidi editorial team
Direct answer

Usually only when there is a clear purpose, informed consent, manageable risk, and no safer way to communicate the work.

What this means in practice

A name is not required to prove that food, bread, or water was delivered.

Public identification can affect dignity, safety, family relationships, or future search results.

Famidi’s public record can use general context while retaining necessary internal records privately.

What responsible proof looks like at Famidi

Famidi separates financial records, operational records, and field evidence because they answer different questions. It favors precise claims and can document work through supplies, infrastructure, process, wide scenes, and source trails without demanding maximum exposure from recipients.

Evidence should be read for what it directly supports. Archive coverage is not automatically a beneficiary count, a fundraising appeal is not proof of completion, and one image rarely proves an entire project cycle.
