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.

I believe it,, I don’t give RED CROSS ANYTHING. Better to donate directly to people who need it.most of the charitable organisations,,take salaries ,,not much left for the people.
This is why I chose very carefully which charities I support. You cannot always trust that some charities are actually doing what they say they are doing.
Clinton wrote off 99% of the billions she took in as administrative costs which included Chelsea s multi million per monthly rental apartment . It’s on her taxes
One reason that I do not donate to this organization.
Disgrace people!
keep our money in our country.
That’s why these charity are f**e as it does not cost six billion to build six shacks .
They built strip malls & hotels in the northern part of Haiti where the earthquake didn’t damage anything.
Must be liberals
First the Clintons and now the Red cross. These people deserve so much better. Don’t donate your money here. Samaritans purse actually helps people.
