The lone hero of Abidjan’s cleanup

Djo Drigbé is 37 years old and has one mission: to see the city of Abidjan clean. He removes trash from beaches, streets, and gutters. He is unemployed and doesn’t receive any salary for his work. Donations guarantee a meal for his family. Drigbé lives with his partner and son. His dedication has drawn admiration. Drigbé dreams of working for the public cleaning company or of setting up a private company in this sector. Even if the dreams seem so far away, Drigbé continues his “fight” without losing his heart.
