Residents of Kuda Bellankadawala are experiencing an epidemic of Chronic Kidney Diseases due to their contaminated water supply.
The small village of Kuda Bellankadawala is home to nearly 120 families. Renowned for its rice production, which contributes significantly to the nation’s food supply, this village stands as a testament to Sri Lanka's agricultural heritage. Yet, behind the serene facade of this rural community lies a pressing issue that has long afflicted its residents: accessing safe drinking water. Despite the presence of wells in the area, they are in a deplorable state, making the quest for clean water a daily struggle. Villagers are compelled to journey approximately 7 kilometers to find water that is suitable for drinking.
Installation of an RO Plant in the village of Kuda Bellankadawala using an existing water source. Install a Water Distribution Point with access to clean drinking water- free of harmful pollutants. Further, it will reduce the incidence rate of water borne illnesses in the resident population. Moreover, Gammadda will introduce a preventive and periodic maintenance plan to ensure project longevity by forming a Gammadda Saviya Society.
