Aid projects for the Huni Kuin

The Huni Kuin are the third indigenous people that TARGET e. V. is committed to
.
Fernanda Brandão, entertainer, fitness expert and partner of TARGET board member Roman Weber, brought the Huni Kuin and TARGET e. V. together. She has been committed to indigenous people since 2016. Together, they launched the project in spring 2022: wells for clean drinking water for the people living in the northwest of the Amazon region.

Unfortunately, access to clean drinking water is no longer a matter of course, even for the indigenous peoples in the middle of the rainforest. Pollution with mercury from gold prospectors, diesel residue from motorboats and faeces lead to infectious diseases, diarrhoea and infant mortality.


TARGET e. V. worked with Fernada Brandão to build five wells and two solar-powered pump systems with a water tower and storage basin by June 2022 to improve health. They will provide access to clean groundwater for 105 families in the villages of Pão Sagrado, Reino da Estrela, Arco Iris, Bom Futuro, Sacado, Rosa Branca and Flor da Mata. Fernanda was able to obtain funding through her network and is now using it with TARGET. Further wells are being planned.
