History of Gurkha Welfare Trust then and now,

Gurkha Welfare Trust established in 1969, in recognition of the country’s debt of honour to these soldiers, a public appeal, led by eight of our greatest wartime Field Marshals raised £1m to establish The Gurkha Welfare Trust (published on the newspaper The Times June 25 1970).

The Trust then began to create a network of bases in Nepal to distribute financial aid to retired soldiers who had met with disasters such as landslides and floods. We also bought land for ex-Gurkhas to become subsistence farmers and provide enough food to support their families.

From that arrangement later began paying our regular Welfare Pension payment, expanded our remit to include community initiatives like schools and water projects and developed a comprehensive medical scheme across Nepal.

Currently, Gurkha Welfare Trust operates through 19 Area Welfare Centres (AWC) spread across traditional Gurkha recruiting areas in Nepal as well as one in India.

Please support Gurkha Welfare Trust now and beyond.

Thank you.

"With Best Wishes to you and your family"
