Haitian funds

The average annual income in Haiti is $350. $13.5 billion in aid was raised by public and private funds to help with the earthquake that struck in 2010. This is 3.7 years of annual salary for every Haitian. Seven years later here is quote. There is also a distrust of humanitarian organizations in the country due to slow reconstruction following the earthquake, despite billions of dollars raised in international aid. The Red Cross, for example, is accused of building only six homes in Haiti with nearly half a billion dollars in donated funds, and spending millions on internal expenses. One of the more prominent organizations involved was the Clinton Foundation which is now under an FBI investigation.
