Meals for people facing hunger
Funded meals for a decade. About 1.5 million of them, at the rates the organisations use.
Large-scale hunger relief campaigns, and smaller programmes feeding people directly. Different organisations, different years, different scales.
The conversion is theirs, not his. A dollar goes further through them than it ever would directly: bulk purchasing, logistics and donated food are all behind that number, which is the entire reason for giving through them rather than around them.
"About 1.5 million meals" is a conversion rather than a count. It is the total given, divided by the cost-per-meal figures the organisations publish themselves. Nobody counted 1.5 million plates, and a number that large deserves to show its working.
It is the least photogenic strand of the four and the easiest to explain. A meal costs what it costs. Multiply it by ten years.
