How the Red Cross Raised Half a Billion Dollars for Haiti *and Built Six Homes
In late 2011, the Red Cross launched a multimillion-dollar project to transform the desperately poor area, which was hit hard by the earthquake that struck Haiti the year before. The main focus of the project — called LAMIKA, an acronym in Creole for “A Better Life in My Neighborhood” — was building hundreds of permanent homes.
Today, not one home has been built in Campeche. Many residents live in shacks made of rusty sheet metal, without access to drinkable water, electricity or basic sanitation. When it rains, their homes flood and residents bail out mud and water.
The Red Cross received an outpouring of donations after the quake, nearly half a billion dollars.
The Red Cross says it has provided homes to more than 130,000 people. But the actual number of permanent homes the group has built in all of Haiti: six.
After the earthquake, Red Cross CEO Gail McGovern unveiled ambitious plans to “develop brand-newcommunities.”
None has ever been built.

The only way to fix Haiti is to line their current ruling class up against the wall and shoot them. It's black on black crime on a country wide scale. That is the ONLY way to fix that hole. , the Dominican Republic on the same ing island is doing just fine because they aren't run by a bunch of corrupt assholes.
Shut the up head jewtons it isn't our place to provide for all the third world people of the world.
rightwingnut blaming the victims.
Haiti has been ed by French and USA for 200 years, which includes hiring corrupt Haitians who you want to shoot to enable their dirty business.
You ignorant . Aristide was a Priest with a net worth of $75 when he was elected President and he had a net worth of 800 million when he was overthrown.
you stupid redneck , read up on Haiti's history, and where did his $800M come from?
black on black crime, boo.
Is what it is.
So why did the Dominican Republic on the very same island not get screwed up?
yep, blame the victim for being ed for 200 years by USA and France.
Pro publica has great expose of US Red Cross raising $500M for Haiti earthquake, promising many 1000s of home, has built ... 6!
Other orgs actually have built 1000s of homes, water, sewer, etc
try: different history.
Identical colonial occupation. Try again.
Haiti is just a third world African nation dropped into the Carribean.
not exactly

DR has oscillated back and force between Spain and France, while Haiti was French then independent, then DR and Haiti became enemies. Quite different. Go to DR and tell them they are just Haitians with Spanish instead of Frenc names.
USA has diddled in both countries deeply and longly, replacing dictators with dictators to US liking (and financial corruption support)
