For for a family with four children, that's over $1,000.

That would be life-changing money for many of those families if it were distributed as cash (i.e., for deposit at a bank or mattress money, whatever). I have no idea if that gets run through the NGOs/aid providers how much actually gets to the Afghan recipients of the aid, ... I've read as much as 70% of funds for aid in Afghanistan goes to NGO admin and overhead, leaving just 30% in actual aid delivered.

Was $73B of Afghan aid wasted? https://www.politico.com/story/2012/01/was-73-billion-of-afghan-aid-wasted-071314
