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.

The red cross pulled the same BS on 9/11. Collected money meant for 9/11 Victims and used the money elsewhere. Billions of dollars meant for 9/11. No surprise here. Bet some Red Cross Executive’s received huuuge bonuses and raises.
Don’t forget Katrina… I knew some that had a bad experience with the RC in New Orleans and I’d heard of stories dating back to WWII… I won’t donate to them.
Red Cross is one of the associations that has been on the list for years as a money making project and almost all the money goes to the people in the association for paychecks . If any left over after payroll it goes for the charity.
Red Cross noted for one of the lowest percent actually going to the victims of any. Highest administration rate.
Salvation Army best with almost ALL going to intended.
Between Red Cross and Clinton Foundation, Haiti got royally screwed and both are criminal.
None!
CEO at that time had to Resign over scandal but did not change way they operate.
Sad!
Also laundered through the Clinton Foundation.
Glad to see this being exposed
Just my point….you don’t hear about that lack of accountability
