Bono's ONE foundation giving just a little over 1% of funds to charity!!!

Bono's anti-poverty foundation ONE is under pressure to explain its lavish salaries after it was revealed that only a small percentage of money it raises reaches the needy.

The non-profit organisation set up by the U2 frontman received almost £9.6m in donations in 2008 but handed out only £118,000 to good causes (1.2 per cent).

The figures published by the New York Post also show that £5.1m went towards paying salaries. More...

Don't miss:

  1. Bono tackles African poverty (by moving his fashion house to China)
  2. Open letter to Bono and Bob Geldof from an African...
  3. Why do politicians fawn over Bono, a smug, hypocritical, whining, tax dodging...
  4. Beggar in India gives alms to those even poorer...
  5. Money sent to help the poor in India ends up in the pockets of corrupt officials...
