The awards
The 2nd Edition of the Fairtrade Africa Impact Recognition (FAIR) Ngoma Awards took place on Friday, 25th June 2021 at a virtual awards ceremony.
Ngoma means drum in Kiswahili. Drums are a revered instrument in Africa with a rich history. In Africa drums hold a deeper symbolic and historical meaning. They were an important accompaniment in ceremonies like births, deaths, marriage, initiation, dance and also an important symbol in battle used to stir up emotion. Drums play a significant role in the definition of the African culture. Its influence resonates across the continent bringing togetherness, a common pulse and a common rhythm.
Fairtrade Africa choose to drum to celebrate and recognize producers across the continent. We drummed to recognize the fruit of their labour and farming as a business, we drummed to recognize the role they individually play in determining their own destiny!
