Ongoing Campaigns

University Scholarship

Feigenhain supports indigenous students financially to cover their accommodation and living costs during their university studies. Very few indigenous people make it to university — your support helps them achieve this dream and return to their communities with new skills.

Current beneficiary: Kuhupi Waurá

Kuhupi is a young Amerindian nursing student from the Aldeia Pyulaga in the Parque Indígena do Xingú, Brazil. His dream is to become a nurse and return to his community after graduating.

Kuhupi needs approximately 300 Euros per month to pay for accommodation and food in Cárceres (Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil), where his university is. Feigenhain covers part of these costs, but your support is essential to bridge the gap. All you need to do is set up a standing order for a monthly bank transfer in Euros to Feigenhain — we will look after the rest.

Emergency Medical Care

Feigenhain covers urgent medical costs for indigenous or vulnerable people who have no access to the care they need. Each case is assessed individually by the Bureau. If you know someone in need, contact us at contact@feigenhain.org.

Successfully helped: Manoel — arm surgery

Manoel lived in the suburbs of Macapá, in the state of Amapá. For over two years he was unable to work with his right arm, which had been seriously injured by a dog bite. Thanks to your donations, Feigenhain was able to fund the necessary surgery.

Successfully helped: dental care for a young Amerindian

Feigenhain raised the necessary funds for the complete dental treatment of a young Wayãpi Amerindian in Brazil.
