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.

Goodwill also
The Red Cross needs to be named THE DODOUBLECROSS.
Like so many groups, start out good, get corrupted, turn bad.
But they were nice homes! Lol
Most charities today are frauds
Since the Red Cross has become corrupt, then we should stop contributing to it. Surely they must answer to someone about this. And if the CEO makes in excess of $660,000 per year that is criminal in my eyes. NO MORE! Someone investigate this organization!
For only 6 houses?!
Jeri Benham Definitely had a better idea! We support all kinds of needs like this, through our church home, and we attend the business meetings to see where it all goes! We are accountable for the money God blesses us with!
Seems their is a lot of money in Poverty “”If”” you are on the right end of it.
Boom !
