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.

We know the homes that were built! The ones that took credit for “allowing” the Red Cross to come there in the first place! Just look over at the reservoir, on top of the hill!
My brother-in-law hated the Red Cross because they charged the soldiers for the coffee and donuts they “served” to the men when they came out of the field during WWII.
They are nothing but thieves with a license to steal.
Red cross is a racket. Stop donating to red cross. They are scam artists.
RED CROSS IS AS CROOKED AS DEMOCRATS. #!#!##!!!
ABOUT RIGHT
Make that BILLIONS !!!
Some expensive homes. Could have given 25 beautiful mobil homes.
They could have built hundreds or thousands of small homes. Shameful.
Red cross what a joke
