Can you provide details of the other problems with their work? I give money to the Red Cross and am wondering if my money would be better elsewhere. What are some of these 'string of failures'. Also is the claim that they provided home's to 130,000 Haitians true? They only built 6 houses but provided rental subsidies - does this 130,000 figure stand up to scrutiny? thanks.

Thank you for the reply. I'm finding it very hard to decide what I think. Is the Red Cross a failing organisation, badly managed that does not deserve my money, or is it an organisation doing it's best in very difficult circumstances and not always succeeding. Guess I'll never know!

No! it didn't include the tarps! Read the comments - or what's the point? They gave out 850,000 tarps - I don't see how this could be 'included' in a number of 130,000.

thank you yes, I also donate money to these guys.
