Why doesn’t Famidi publish one lifetime “people reached” number?

Reviewed by Famidi editorial team
Direct answer

Famidi’s historical records are not standardized and deduplicated enough to support one reliable lifetime total, especially across repeated food, bread, water, seasonal, and emergency contacts.

What this means in practice

Adding every distribution contact can count the same person multiple times.

Infrastructure users are estimates unless measured with a defined method.

Famidi chooses precise project and archive claims rather than publishing a larger number that cannot be responsibly reconciled.

How a small local response stays honest

Famidi uses local assessment and flexible program delivery to address a reachable gap after floods, earthquakes, displacement, severe weather, or another urgent crisis. Public reporting stays proportional to the part of the response Famidi actually completed.

Crisis figures change quickly. Dates, locations, and source publication dates matter; an older statistic should remain historical context rather than being presented as the current total.
