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.

Bad reputation….
Where’s the rest of the money?
Pathetic
Where’s the money?????
The Red Cross is a rip-off. The CEO makes big bucks. I’d rather give to the Salvation Army or a charity where the CEO and operating expenses are low and most of the money goes to those in need.
Outrageous if true!
Administration fees !!! What BS !!!!
Must be mansions they built! These houses must cost one/or two hundred to construct each. No water or electricity. No sewers. They pay out more to build their tent cities in california that are ever growing. And some even have gas generators to power them. And all of them combined even with the bikes and trails cost less than these so called mansions in the third world nations.
half a Billion for 6 homes ONLY WHERE THE REST OF THE MONEY WENT I WONDER
CORRUTION
