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.

Clinton foundation took it all
Never give one penny to Red Cross they should have to give all the money raised to the people of Haiti and I mean each person I bet they could build there own homes
That’s only $84 million per house that’s sounds reasonable !!!
No surprise there, I have heard so many horror stories about the Red Cross. Disgusting Dispictable disrespectful actions
This is what puts many people off donating. Sorry to have to mention it but wasn’t the Clinton Foundation big in the Hati affair?
Quit giving to the Red Cross after what they did on 9/!!.
Google up how much the CEO makes and your questions will be answered. Found this out after i donated on 9/11.
Those 6 homes better be palaces! The Red Cross just another corrupt thief! Never give to the Red Cross! My father told me during world war 2 that the Red Cross charged them for coffee and donuts, BUTthe Salvation Army GAVE them coffee and donuts! He died at age 81 never giving the Red Cross a dime. He made quarterly donations to the Salvation Army.
That’s all the homes they were able to build ?
Where’s the money!
