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.

They got screwed.
Agree!
I don’t donate to Red Cross!
Either the red cross learned from the clinton foundation or vice versa cause they both did a screw job on Haiti. I don’t donate to either of them and don’t expect anything from them in return.
International Red Cross is a known fraud!
My dad passed along similar stories.
The Red Cross has always been a “F**e” charity. Just look at the records and the financial statements
Nobody mention that Bill Clinton and G.W. Bush were the spokespersons for that collections drive. There are only two true charities in the true sense of the word. Catholic charities who only charge back four percent overhead and Mormon charities who only charge back two percent overhead. Numbers dont lie. Charities are desirable for one reason and one reason only. The 501C corporation status. The most bottom feeding national charity is United Way. My wife and I experienced their crooked ways first hand. They are somehow nationally backed and get away with their treachery.
Corrupt Red Cross
Ref Cross is a Con Game.
