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.

Things that make you go…
Hmmmmm.
I talked once to a non for profit orginization ceo he said that of all the donations only about ten percent is actually used to help the people in need he told me he writes his own ticket . alot of the money goes for advertising
I learned a long time ago how corrupt the Red Cross was. During the Vietnam war, cigarette companies gave the Red Cross complimentary packs of cigarettes to give to the military. Instead, they sold them to them. How evil does that get.. I have heard from families who got help from the Red Cross after hurricanes, and they were sent a bill from the Red Cross later.
I find this disgusting. Apparently the Red Cross and the Clintons got rich off the Haitian disaster. I will research this
And Clinton’s stole 10 Billion dollars from their CLinton Foundation. That money was donated from people around the world for the Haitians Hurricane Relief Fund.
I can’t believe they have not developed
Criminal. Absolutely.
Shamelessly corrupt!!!
Where’s the money
When my brother was severely injured in Viet Nam years ago, the Red Cross arranged for him to make a phone call home. Nice, huh? Except that my parents were invoiced later for the call. Not nice!!
