Reading about fraud is always upsetting, but reading about charity fraud is downright infuriating.
When the already-impoverished nation of Haiti was struck by a devastating earthquake in 2010, people around the world opened their checkbooks to donate money to the reconstruction of the country. Among the recipients of these generous donations was the Red Cross, who pledged to help the people of Haiti get back on their feet with the millions of dollars given to them.
Yet five years after launching LAMIKA, a project named after a Creole acronym for “A Better Life In My Neighborhood” and meant to build hundreds of homes in Port-Au-Prince, only six homes have been built across the entire country, forcing citizens to continue dwelling in shacks without water, electricity or basic sanitation and regular flooding. In short, the Red Cross has delivered far less than it promised not just to it’s donors, but to the people it claimed it would help as well.

Charity is prime for skimmin
Everyone needs to stop giving to red cross. Give to salvation army. Or samaritans purse instead…
Ok there crooked too
Very corrupt people should know
They are in it for the paycheck, my donations go elsewhere
Would not donate a penny. They pay those huge salaries and little to needy.
Where did the $$$$ go–6 homes?
EXACTLY WHY I do not donate to Red Cross! Nothing but a Slush fund for the CEO! My money goes to Salvation Army.
your donations hard at work: .04 cents of every dollar goes to the need by Federal law. .04 cents. up to .96 cents of every dollar given can go to Administrative costs. Keep your $$$ in your pocket people. if you see a true need around you, give if you feel like it.
Old news, corrupt just like the clintons foundation. Never give anything to red Cross, untrustworthy just like the liberal media,
