Double your impact and protect more veterans this winter
Please help us reach every pensioner before winter makes it too difficult to reach remote villages.
Operation Shield was a great success last year. Our medical teams worked tirelessly, battling harsh terrain and worsening weather, to reach 10,000 veterans with the medication supplied by people like you.
As our 21 Area Welfare Centres prepare for the coming winter, we’ve never had a better opportunity to shield as many Gurkhas as possible from deadly seasonal illnesses.
Thanks to matched funding, a gift today could buy two vaccinations instead of one. It could fund the care needed to shield a Gurkha veteran AND his wife, protecting them both from life-threatening illnesses.
Here’s how your gift can have twice the impact:
£14.62 is the cost of one flu vaccination – today it will buy TWO
£28.23 can buy a pneumonia vaccine – today that same gift buys TWO
£50 covers both vaccinations, follow-up care and other essential medicines – giving that same amount today will care for a veteran AND his wife
This winter, we need to deliver 14,500 flu and pneumonia vaccinations.
Support Operation Shield today and have your gift doubled, protecting more brave veterans from the worst of Nepal’s winter.
