How we calculate this

When we say your giving could cover about N of something, we divide your gifts, after processing fees, by the current cost of one unit and round down. It is an equivalent, not a promise that your exact dollars bought a specific item. Gifts are pooled and sent to board-approved programs in monthly transfers.

Costs come from partner invoices or quotes, are dated, and are hidden automatically once their review date passes, because prices in Gaza can change sharply within weeks.
