From a 2015 NPR article [1]: "The Red Cross says it has provided homes to more than 130,000 people, but the number of permanent homes the charity has built is six."
I don't know about you, but that screams fraud to me.

- 24gttghh 9y agoIs the Red Cross supposed to build houses? I was under the impression they focus on temporary, emergency shelter...Sounds more like something up Habitat for Humanity's alley.
- rpedela 9y agoIf you read the article, they have made several other claims regarding Haiti which simply weren't true. THAT is the problem, not whether or not they are an organization who builds houses.
