The Gurkha Welfare Trust

The Gurkha Welfare Trust provides financial, medical and development aid to Gurkha veterans, their families and communities. We estimate that we’ll spend around £22 million over the next five years as we help communities recover from the devastating Nepal earthquakes. As part of our response, we’ll be rehousing over 2,100 Gurkha veterans and their widows, including…

Baldhan & Budyani Ghale, Barpak, Nepal
