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.

Where is the rest of it ?
This is one of many reasons people say to NEVER donate to the Red Cross. Where ever tragedy is try to find a local charity to donate to.
red cross is a rip off
This is exactly why you do not donate to the Red Cross always give to the Salvation Army
Never, I repeat, NEVER donate to the Red Cross!
well it is a Rothschild corporation, I believe. ( Red Shield / Red Cross) so… just like the UN. Like the Federal Reserve.
That’s all?.
I stopped supporting this so- called charity some time ago.
Typical of the Red Cross.
I was working for them free daily but they hired someone so I quit.
