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.

Donate to Salvation Army or Samaritan’s Purse.
This is why I never donate to the Red Cross. Try Catholic Charities, Billy Graham or Salvation Army.
Why only 6??
The executives at Red Cross are making a fortune.
RED CROSS is nothing but a big scam using the RED Cross logo to commit big time frauds!!
Never give a dime to Red Cross.
Wonder how people can be so stupid to make the upper echelon of this “NON-profit” so wealthy.
Disgraceful.
Gail McGovern, the current president and CEO of the American Red Cross has base salary of $500,000
That is more than the Clintons did for Haiti and they used U.S. Gov. donations.
Red Cross sucks….Salvation Army or St Jude’s for ne
They are just one of these rip off orginasitions that does this .Before sending any money do your research but it’s best to give to local charities than international ones..
