Figeographie

How We Originated

In June 2025, Remonda Hassan created Figeographie. It was originally meant to showcase her nature photography. The name “Figeographie” was inspired by the first deliberate photo she took — a fig on the ground while walking to school with her sister.

Why We Proceeded

While coding the site, Remonda remembered an article she wrote in 8th grade about the detriments of fast fashion on the global health, particularly in population-dense countries like Egypt where air, land, and water pollution impact cardiovascular and lung health. She became keen on establishing a medium through which she could practice her love of spreading the beauty of photography while also making real-world impact on society.

Where We Are Now

Today, Figeographie is run by volunteers who combine nature photography, environmental articles, and a charity collaboration with Magdi Yacoub Heart Foundation to help provide Egyptian children facing heart disease with absolutely free care and treatment.
