For over ten years of working in the “business of doing good” — the international aid sector — I’ve experienced how messed up things can get when it comes to “helping others”. Whether through our careers, donations or volunteering, we need to become sharper and more discerning about how we go about our purpose and impact. We need more courage to face uncomfortable home truths, rather than just seeking out what feels good. We need stamina and resources to overcome simplistic “solutions” that do little to change systemic problems. The Good Jungle is here for those questioning what it means to “do good” in a messy world. Its aim is to inform, inspire, challenge and provide community to those of us wondering how we can make a difference.
