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.

THE RED CROSS IS A TOTAL SCAM!!
We build houses, we know the cost, wheres the rest of the money?
Took lessons from the Clinton foundation
They could have built a who!me city with that much money, shame on them
I have been saying this for yrs. , don’t donate to red cross , United way , humane society, just a legal scam , that high wages and overhead operating cost that eat up most money donated before it ever gets for what it was intended for.
Red Cross built expensive sh*tholes.
My uncle was in the service when his father died. Red Cross flew him home. Later he got a bill from Red Cross. He refused to pay.
Yep
In my city if there is a house fire, RC rushes in and puts the displaced people in a hotel….same for other losses. Nice but I think the money could be better spent. .
