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.

Were they grass huts ?
Despicable Crooks ..
A very good friend of my family, Sam Oliver Blanc, may he RIP invented the Roter Router in Des Moines, Iowa. He was a multi millionaire who “never” gave to charity. He would read about a family having a disaster or see something of that nature on TV. He used his money to help out countless numbers of people. He knew where his money was being spent. I think he had the right idea.
What a bunch of money hungry pricks!
Corrupt yep
what kind of homes did they build
They’ve been pulling this c**p for 30 years, why$#%&!@*now? Nobody is going to stop them, because people will keep sending them money. Same-o-same-o.
Help those with cancer or other medical problems, fires, shootings, veterans, wounded soldiers, current military personnel and the homeless etc. Those are just some examples of charity at its best. Know where your money goes..
Where did the money go? Same thing with the Clinton Foundation, they kept the money that should have gone to Haiti!
Don’t support them at all
