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.

What they could have done much more because these home couldn’t have cost more then $2000 a pice I don’t think much of the Red Cross any more have seen my self how cheep they are and how it wastes money.
If that is a house they built, I say do away with the Red Cross.
Wow
The Red Cross is a scam.
Only 6 homes ! Should have been able to uild a small town!
Probably, cause a senator or governor came right out and said NOT to give to Red Cross! They are pocketing your money for themselves!!
Should be 66 homes
Trying to pass the buck? That was the Clinton’s that handled the relief efforts in Haiti and most of that money went to their crony contractors pockets for millions donated to the Clinton Foundation. While six houses were built a factory and statism was built in a part of Haiti not bad hit. Tony Rodham got a gold mining contract there to. Haitian protested out side the foundation headquarters.
The red cross sucks i always give to the salvation army.
They learned from hillary
