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.

People should get on their computers to see how much money goes to aid vs. adm. fees. There are a bunch getting rich in these big organizations at the expense of those it is meant to help…..whn
Troy*** I have given up on all charities, that advertise on tv, researching in my limited way, has exposed the fact that less then 10% of the funds collected, actually go for the aid they are representing, the outfit that they hire to advertise for funds, keep about half, no matter the amount, it is a percentage, not a fee, so the more they collect, the more they get, even the popular Wounded Worriers project, I am totally disappointed in the system!
Great return Red Cross is another corrupt charity.
