Dakunumahathennagama

Dakunumahathennagama is a village in Adawelayaya Grama Niladhari Division, Wellawaya
Divisional Secretariat, Monaragala District, Uva Province, Sri Lanka. It is about 45km to the
town of Monaragala. The most of residents in this area are farmers. They are very unlucky to have
clean water to drink. Dakunumahathennagama suburb is selected to next phase of Pivithuru Pan
Puja Project due to high prevalence of CKDu outbreak. The most of residents in this area are
farmers. They do not have enough potable water for consumption. Around 15 people were already
diagnosed as CKDu and few deaths have been reported in last two years. However the real number
is more than that due to late or missed diagnosis. Major barrier of CKDu prevention is late
identification and poor living condition of the villagers. Sometimes if they are diagnosed as CKDu,
they don’t seek proper consultations due to low economic status.

Around 1000 innocent peoples will be served from this project area. We suppose to make our
future generation free from life threatening CKDu by giving pure water through installing RO
plants. Seva Vanitha Unit of Airport and Aviation Services Sri Lanka (Pvt) Ltd is willing
to take part in this meritorious act as pious sponsor for this project in Dakunumahathennagama.
