Hubris in Haiti: Wyclef Jean’s History of Overselling Yele’s Ability to Help

Wyclef Jean ‘s aspirations for his foundation, Yele Haiti , to be more than just a celebrity vanity project have long been outstripped by realities on the ground, people who’ve worked in Haiti for the organization tell Gawker. People who have worked for Yele Haiti in the past are speaking up to express concern that Jean’s celebrity is drawing urgently needed donations away from established NGOs and to Yele, which they say is ill-equipped to deliver urgently needed disaster relief.
