Enabling Gurkha veterans and widows to live with dignity.
The Gurkha Welfare Trust has been working in Nepal for over 50 years, delivering essential financial and medical aid to Gurkha veterans and widows, and working with local communities to provide access to clean water and education.
We pay a monthly pension to thousands of impoverished Gurkha veterans and widows who are not eligible to receive a British Army pension. Our Pensioner Support Teams travel by 4x4, motorbike, or on foot to visit veterans and widows in their own homes to deliver pensions, supply medicines and carry out health checks. Often battling monsoon rain, floods or landslides, our teams can be on the road for days to reach the remote mountain villages where our pensioners live.
Our other services include water and sanitation projects, school building and refurbishment programmes, two Residential Homes, and free medical camps providing life-changing treatment such as cataract operations.
