Why partner with The Gurkha Welfare Trust?

The Gurkha Welfare Trust has a longstanding and reputable history of providing vital support to Gurkha veterans and their communities in Nepal.

For an organisation with relatively few resources in the UK, the Trust continues to deliver an impact far above its weight in Nepal, thanks to the incredible support from our partners and donors.

We operate through a network of 21 Area Welfare Centres, spread across traditional Gurkha recruiting areas, and deliver a comprehensive scheme of financial, medical, and community aid. Though at its core, the support of elderly and vulnerable Gurkha pensioners remains a priority, the wider services across Nepal continue to deliver an exponential impact.

Our Schools Programme is one of our longest standing, and has recently surpassed the milestone of providing over 500,000 children with access to an education since its inception. We are also a world leader in successfullydelivering water and sanitation projects in Nepal. We have over 30 years of experience in delivering these projects, and we are rated as A+ by the UK government Development Tracker, which measures the impact and sustainability of development projects. Both of these are huge accolades that we as an organisation are extremely proud of.

By joining forces with us, you will be making a tangible impact on the lives of individuals and communities in need, as well as contributing to sustainable development and social welfare initiatives.

Across the year we run many unique and exciting events across the country. By sponsoring one of our events, you will help us enhance the event experience for all participants and guests, as well as create a fantastic platform for your brand or business. We will work closely with your team to tailor your sponsorship package and we always encourage employee participation!

Fund a Project

With our wide remit of programmes across Nepal, we can identify a project that aligns with your businesses CSR/ESG goals. Funding one of our projects is an incredible way to immerse your staff into the details of the work we do and with regular updates and reports, you and your team can follow the project from inception to completion. There is no better feeling than being the reason that children now feel safe in school, or that a village can now drink safe clean water.
