Here's the actual quote: http://youtu.be/ftpoG2fSZBY?t=4m57s

(I flipped it around to because 6% Haiti vs 100% Watsi was a better comparison in the notes; I may have lost some of her meaning. Will edit to clarify!)

I'm not sure, but it's possible the number came from somewhere like this:

"Ninety-three percent of that money either went to United Nations agencies or international nongovernmental organizations, or it never left the donor government."
