Ngong Anthem
The idea was to use this anthem to Inspire the Farmers and bring them Together, during special events such as the launch of the project, radio stations or special days during the training.
A group composed of five juries of the community was created, and four candidates’ applications were received, two were selected for the final.
This one was the song that came in second place, but it turned out to be the favourite song of the Farmers and the villa in general because it was sung in the local language and the lyrics appealed to the ancestors.
Bambui Agriculture
Evelina is a young farmer following her mother's traditional knowledge using farming and harvesting technics that were passed to them through generations. This record was done in 2012 before the NGONG – Training the Bambui farmers of Tomorrow, where Eveline participated between 2015/2017

Farm2Market - Before NGONG
Reignite, ask me in 2012 to document the Before and After of Bambui Village in all areas of intervention. From 2012 until 2014, I finalised the first step (the Before) of the long-term Documentary “Bambui Before & After"
NGONG-Training the Bambui Farmers of Tomorrow
Visit, https://www.ngonghumanitarian.com to see the Website for this Project. A three-year project designed to deliver an intensive agricultural and enterprise skills training program to a poor rural community suffering the pressure of a fast transition to semi urban Village.
A Tour for Development
With a population of 20,000 people, Bambui was a rural village facing a lot of short-term challenges as the increased to a semiurban village.
Food Transformation & Preservation Training
Presently, a small percentage of farm produce is processed into value-added products. About 0, 1%. The farm products need to be processed into value added products. Bambui needs a substantial investment to raise food processing levels to, at least 20% and to develop the farming sector.
Sharing Ideas Promoting Farmers

On the Road of Education
After the school’s assessment came as priority to promote Water, Sanitation and Hygiene for Schoolchildren in Emergencies. These photographs document the three years project in sixteen primary schools in Bambui.
Bambui Writers
For one year I had been involved with this project for the publication of two books from two different Writers. we visited the Bambui Diaspora disperse by Bambui, Yaonde, Limbe, Buea, Mutengene, Tiko and Douala traveling more than three thousand miles, and the message of the publication reached the UK, US, and South Africa diaspora.
Surrender to Mary
13 May 2017, the 100th Anniversary of the Apparition of Our Lady of Fátima, Portugal.
Christianity has Come and Witchcraft has been Wiped Out
Many other Healers coming out today are using the bible in their work because God created this world and put everything in the bible and if God chooses you to come and help his people, you are his prophet and you will work with God and the people.
Trashion Tribe
TRASHION TRIBE has been inspired by the ongoing Climate Emergency and Ecological Crisis our Planet is experiencing at scale. This concept embodies the latent possibility that, should Humanity fail to reset this path, life as we know it will be transformationally different.
Skin Borders
Project in collaboration with Diana Matoso, with the words, Creating awareness, using fashion magazines and social media, using Fashion as background during the movement Black Lives Matter!
About
As a Humanitarian Photographer, Fernando has worked in Social Urban and post-conflict environments, as part of assignments in Angola, Cameroon and Mozambique, as well as across Europe.
All his life, Fernando travelled and lived between two families, two friends, two houses, two cities or two countries or two continents. He has been shaped by this fast, unpredictable, nomad way of living, and so has his work, reflecting a great sense of Humanity and Spontaneity.
These experiences endowed him with the skills to successfully support organisations in translating their vision, capturing their impact whilst connecting and Inspiring Audiences, as well as growing their operational presence, by developing an impact storyline.
As an Activist Photographer, Fernando navigates the Fragile line between Art, Activism and Humanism, moving towards a path of raising society’s Awareness of the impact, and sustainability of human activity, on the Planet, using themes such as Climate Change, Pollution, Social Injustice, or Artificial Intelligence, using Art & Fashion as a background.
