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.

Never trust Red Cross
Where’s the international Human Right for the victims of corruption?
The Clinton foundation raised 13.4 billion dollars to help rebuild Haiti they built three houses what happen to to the rest of the money
The red cross has become like the Clinton foundation, only about 5% of what is donated, actually goes to the cause, all other funds are paychecks, bonuses, and outings for the employees and managers.
I stopped giving blood to the Red Cross a long time ago. They are more interested in profit than anything!
The misconception about goodwill is it is not a charity, it is a for profit business, you donate, they profit from selling your donations. The only reason you can get a tax write off as a charitable contribution is because the prices of the items is really really low, all $2 for that pair of used kids shoes is profit.
Has anybody ever tought of telling these people to stop having babies
All poor country s have bred them selves into poverty
But there CEO make Millions.
Red Cross is shady!!!! I haven’t given them a dime for years!!!! Crooks!!!!!!
Be careful to which charity you give your money.
