Providing financial medical and community aid to alleviate hardship and distress among Gurkha ex-servicemen of the British Crown
Gurkhas in Nepal
The Gurkha Welfare Trust pays a welfare pension to around 10,000 needy Gurkha ex-servicemen and their widows living in Nepal, who did not complete 15 year's military service to receive a military pension and face destitution. Medical treatment is also provided for them and their dependants. In addition, hardship grants are awarded to alleviate destitution following disasters. An exciting scheme to provide residential homes facilities for the most lonely and vulnerable is currently underway.
