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.

Most miss managed agency ever!
I would not give the Red Cross 1 thin dime, they are crooked!!
need a new law if not at least 50percent goes for help then be taxed at the corperate level
More of the Bill and Hillary Show…”Corruption in the Works”
I had heard that the Red Cross is a bad choice for charity. But, 6 BILLION $ and only 6 houses. Looks like corruption there!!
$$500,000 is outrageous salary for that position.
Somebody has full pockets
I think we know where it went. My question is, why weren’t there any arrests? If I stole a thousand dollars from a charity, I’d be arrested and charged, rightly so too. Why were the Clintons and Bushes arrested?
Red Cross is a rip-off!
This is the reason that I don’t give the American Red Cross any money.
