Fictional story highlights corruption in aid sector

A fictional story explores corruption, cowardice, and narcissism within the humanitarian sector, set in an African country on the verge of civil war. The narrative follows Adèle, a young environmental activist from France, who joins an NGO called Green Gorilla to protect great apes.

Adèle faces challenges in her new role

Adèle quickly discovers that her idealism and strong convictions are not enough to bring about change in the sector. She is accompanied by an influencer whose behavior is described as unbearable, adding to the tension within the organization.

Leadership issues within Green Gorilla

Paul Wolf, the president of Green Gorilla, is revealed to have a history of misogyny, alcoholism, and scamming. These issues complicate Adèle’s efforts to make a difference and highlight deeper problems within the organization.
