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.

Any business can be a non-profit if they give it to administrators–kind of like the NFL paying the obscene salaries to bawl players
So sad I never give to the Red Cross anymore
That’s why I don’t donate
Same with Hillary.
THAT is why you DON’T contribute to the RED CROSS!!!! Their ADMIN costs ARE WAY TOO EXPENSIVE…….
Look at what the red cross top brass pay them selves and you will never make a donation. Salvation army etc way to go.
More government corruption ?
Be for people give money to any of these org. they should check as to how much of every dollar goes to the work they are supposed to be using it for..you could be surprised…..whn
I wouldn’t give the red scam one penny
I heard this was a false story by someone who works in the organization – how can we know if true??
