Kwebanna – former heart of logging in Moruca

Kwebanna was once the bright spot in the Moruca subdistrict. It was the centre of activities created by its vast logging activities. It was home to the Mazaharally Saw Mills which created employment for many residents. Kwebanna is located on the right bank of the Waini River. It can be accessed via boat through the Waini River, aircraft from Kumaka, Mabaruma or Georgetown or by road 22 miles from Kumaka, Moruca. The loam road was recently graded and makes it easy for a one- hour drive from Kumaka. Kwebanna is home to approximately 700 residents. Its residents are provided with essential social services including nursery and primary schools, and a health centre. The community is predominantly Caribs but there are also Warrau and Arawak descendants, most of whom are Christians. According to the ‘ village sheriff’ Cecil Atkinson, the eldest resident, he is the de scendant of the first man Aleandro Brasanio to have settled at Kwebanna.
