red cross

According to a report released by Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley, American Red Cross pocketed close to $125 million of Haiti earthquake fund.

Based on a yearlong investigation by the Iowa Republican and his staff, Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley has reported that the esteemed charity organization Red Cross received an outpouring of donations after the 2010 quake, nearly $500 million, more than any other nonprofit organization received. But sadly, its all ambitious plans to build housing for the earthquake victims completely failed on the ground in Haiti. The Red Cross says it has provided homes to more than 130,000 earthquake victims. But the actual number of permanent homes the group has built in all of Haiti is just six. As per the charity organization's report, they spent $70 million on "program expenses" which include funds spent to oversee and evaluate its Haiti programs. In its earlier reports, Red Cross's had repeatedly told that, of the total funds it receives on humanitarian programs, it spends up to 9% (in recent case, it should be $45 million) on internal expenses. However, Grassley's office found that 25% of the total donations ($500 million) sent to Haiti or about $125 million were spent as fundraising and management expenses.

The International Federation of the Red Cross (IFRC) wants to install toilets in Haitian communities across the country. Before this can be done, social and cultural values regarding bodily functions must be addressed.

The IFRC's research shows--in some communities--usage of open fields for elimination activities are considered acceptable.

The IFRC will develop a program to re-educate rural residents on the improved quality of life they will experience by using a modern commode.

Sen. Chuck Grassley has many question about the hurricane fund given to American Red Cross and wants some answers soon.

Red Cross Lack of Transparency Raises Doubts

U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley wants answers from the Red Cross. He's giving them a week to come up with information regarding programs it operated, their cost, how much money was given to project partners, and how much actually ended up helping those in need.

The Red Cross has thrown up obstacles to agencies like the Center for Economic and Policy Research, who wants to know how the aid organization has spent many millions of dollars, with little to show for it.

Here is a picture of several Haitians, each awarded a box of goodies from the Red Cross. They were the charity organization to receive the largest amount of donations for relief efforts to Haiti after the 2010 earthquake. However the Red Cross used most of the fund to reduce their own accumulated deficits and pay their foreign employees huge salaries.

Red Cross steals Hundreds of Millions from Haiti Earthquake Relief

When Haiti was blown off its foundations by the 2010 earthquake, the international community responded, donating hundreds of millions of dollars. The Red Cross was the biggest donor at half a billion.

Suspicious because only six homes had been built in the last five years by the Red Cross, ProPublica investigated, discovering the agency used $100 million to lower their debts and another one-third of donations to cover their overhead.

Can you believe this?. The situation in Haiti has been solved. Why? it has been solved to the point that Red Cross is now looking at how they can invest the remaining money left in their hands.
We just learned that the Red Cross is contemplating of investing money donated for Haiti.

Can they really do that? Does that mean that there are no more Haitians living under the tent?

Ofcourse there are. This is the problem with these big organizations. They are not really sensitive to the needs of the poors
