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.

The Red Cross should be charged with Fraud.They didn’t help Haiti at all .
Money went in the pockets of the Red Cross upper management…..stop giving to them…..give to Salvation Army…..more of every dollar goes to help the actual cause with them
crooks
red cross spends 9 cent on the people that need it and keeps the rest
When my parents house burnt down a few days before Christmas and they had a two year old and a baby, they went to the Red Cross for help. They told them go to the Salvation Army. They did and the Salvation Army told them go to the Red Cross. Many many years ago, but my mother never forgot it. Neither did I.
They are crooks
