WHOA!!! Harper's -- Clintons’ charitable enterprise is a vehicle to launder money and enrich friends

[Divernan]

27. When corporate honchos visit to set up factories exploiting $3.85/DAY wages,

they need a safely isolated and luxurious place to stay. Meanwhile some 200,000 Haitians are still living in squalor/shanties with no electricity, sewers or running water.

Heckuva Job, Clinton Foundation!

It's just SUPER that you "facilitated" a luxury Marriott Hotel with 173 rooms for $45 million (do the math - that's $260,000 per room) to house visiting corporate exploiters. Don't you worry about those hundreds of thousands of Haitians still living in slums with no electricity, sanitation or running water! And then there were those millions spent developing 5 industrial parks for corporate investors.

According to a new report by Amnesty International, there are 85,432 people in Haiti (comprising 22,741 households) who remain homeless because of the 2010 earthquake. As the report explains, the natural disaster exposed the dire state of housing in Haiti, where a large portion of people had lived in substandard homes that were built by residents using inadequate materials and poor construction techniques.

"Five years ago, the eyes of the world were on Haiti after the devastating earthquake tore lives apart and left more than 2 million people homeless," Chiara Liguori, Caribbean researcher at Amnesty International, said. "Sadly, since then, the world’s interest has waned while tens of thousands of people remain destitute and homeless."

Although the number of people living in displacement camps has dropped over 90 percent since July 2010, the majority of those who left are still not living in durable housing, the report notes -- many have moved back into unsafe structures or began construction on their own homes without expert assistance.

As NBC News reported, at least 200,000 people reside in slums known as Canaan-Jerusalem, where there's no electricity, running water or sanitation system in place.

The situation -- which could " and the pre-earthquake housing crisis" if another disaster strikes -- doesn't hold up to the Haitian government's "build back better" slogan often touted by aid organizations in the months following the earthquake.

The dire situation has left some questioning where the billions of dollars for aid relief has gone and if it has been spent effectively, according to NBC News. The outlet reported that the United Nations has recorded about $13.34 billion in donated funds for Haiti reconstruction through 2020.
