Kindred Kidneys is a project, initiated by the Rotaract Club of Alumni of University of Moratuwa in the year 2019.The main objectives of this project are to increase awareness regarding Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) and helping the innocent people who suffered from Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). As Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) has threatened hundreds of Sri Lankans. Project impact is also mainly on helping the under privileged kidney patients by financially aiding them to have free dialysis treatment and raise awareness about Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD).
Rotaract Alumni Mora collaborated with the Samastha Lanka Kidney Patients Association (SLKPA) by raising funds to provide free dialysis treatments for the under-privileged patients. We supported them by selling “Wakugaduwa” Newspaper, the first Sri Lankan newspaper related to Kidney Health, at Keleni Rajamaha Viharaya. The “Wakugaduwa” Newspaper basically contains the treatments for prevention of Chronic Kidney Diseases, experience sharing of Dr. Sanjaya Heiyanthuduwa regarding the prevention of kidney diseases in Sri Lanka and the services for the underprivileged kidney patients.
Project “සුව සවි – Suwa Savi” was initiated to provide the Samastha Lanka Kidney Patients Association (SLKPA) with sanitation liquid and face masks to be distributed at nephrology clinics as precautionary methods to prevent the spread of the prevailing COVID – 19 pandemic. 5L of hand sanitiser liquid, 10L of disinfectant and 200 face masks were donated with the objective of celebrating World Kidney Day 2021 which was on the 11th of March with the partnership of Eco Life Pvt. Ltd.

Also the project aims to help the patients suffering from Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), by funding the SLKPA (Samastha Lanka Kidney Patients Association) for their Dialysis treatments.
