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.

Red cross has always Bern like this.
Stopped giving to the Red Cross when 9/11 happened.
This is shameful
TOTALLY CORRUPTED!! THE POOR NEVER SEE THIS MONEY, DO NOT TRUST THEM!!
What’s wrong with this picture !!!
These needy people just want simple good housing not mansions. I’ll bet some big wigs got the mansions.
We never donate to RC. Only Salvation Army and the Methodist Church.
I worked with Red Cross during Katrina shelter efforts in Lafayette LA. I will never do that again!
Can you say corruption???
Why is this not being investigated?
