Ritu lives in India and worked for an organization doing work for street children. The money she is earning from her work is paying back a loan she took from a bank to pay for her sister's weeding. She has been set the task by her boss to apply for much needed government funding for a project to help street children. Ritu gets in touch with the appropriate public servant. They say that they are willing to support the orphanage if she pays a bribe on behalf of the orphanage. Her boss tells her that she has to secure the project by paying the bribe.
If she pays the bribe:
-She keep her job
-She continues to be able to pay back her loan for the family
-She secures much needed finance to run the program for street children
-She goes against her value and is dishonest
If she doesn’t pay the bribe:
-She risk losing her job
-She will have to search for another way to pay back the loan
-The project for street children will not go ahead
-She lives out the values she believe in
What would you do if you were her?
