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.

bunch of thieves
The Red Cross has been a scam since WWII. Just ask any veteran or their families.
The Salvation Army is the better choice to actually help veterans.
Yup, they sure are because they need the publicity to bring in donations for their very lucrative salaries
People didn’t wake up after they pocketed 10 billion after 9-11? Shame on anyone that doesn’t pay attention! They the biggest rip off ever. They paid of their mortgages and bought more property after 9-11 instead of helping families of 9-11.
That’s not inefficiency that is down and dirty theft or those were SOME houses.
Most nonprofits are a scam.
wow those must be nice homes
WHO’S RUNNING THIS FUND…HILLARY OR BILL ?
