Residents of Nawagaththegama are experiencing an epidemic of Chronic Kidney Diseases due to their contaminated water supply.
One of the most pressing issues of Nawagaththegama residents is their poor access to clean drinking water. The village's water supply is contaminated, forcing the residents into a dire choice, either consume contaminated water or incur significant expenses to purchase clean water. As a result of consuming contaminated water residents have become increasingly vulnerable to chronic kidney disease and various water-borne illnesses. This crisis extends beyond households; even local institutions such as Navagaththegama Maha Vidyalaya, accommodating over 500 students, and the nearby Nawagaththegama Divisional Hospital, attending to hundreds of patients daily, are unable to provide clean water to those they serve.
Installation of an RO Plant in the village of Kirimetiyawa using an existing water source. Construct Water Distribution Point for both students and villagers 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.
