Why are prepared meals useful after some emergencies?
Prepared meals can help when people need to eat immediately and cooking facilities, fuel, water, time, or safe storage have been disrupted.
What this means in practice
Meals must be cooked, packed, transported, and handed over within a workable time.
They are less durable than dry staples and may not fit every dietary need.
Local assessment determines whether meals, packages, cash, or another response is more useful.
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.
