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.

Here’s a thought. Couldn’t you have built the homes on the land that the original homes were on? And, if you didn’t have the skills, there are thousands of people who do and who would have been willing to volunteer their time!
Just 6, with a half billion dollars? They should have been able to build a lot more with $500,000,000.
Robert Cathey to have a law that requires they only spend .04% of the money collected is criminal! Our society and our politicians are all insane! Who would even think to make this legal for a chairity?
Shameful….Clinton Foundation also involved.
Wheres the money Hillary?
Criminal organization
Red Cross was once a positive organization. Now is a gang of thieves.
But are saints compared to the Clinton foundation.
Thanks clintons
This is nothing new they only spend about a dime out of ever dollar on its intended purpose.
