The Gurkha Memorial Fund is deeply concerned about the natural disaster affecting the northern part of Nepal. We are working closely with our team in Nepal and will provide further updates as soon as a clear support strategy has been agreed.

Dear Friends,

I am currently in Nepal and know that everyone is deeply concerned about the great tragedy and natural disaster affecting the northern part of the country.

Your kind and generous support is greatly appreciated during these difficult times. However, I kindly request that, if you wish to donate, you please donate only to the Prime Minister’s Official Disaster Relief Fund of the Government of Nepal, to help ensure that your contribution reaches the victims and affected families directly.

Every little bit of help can make a difference.

With sincere thanks and appreciation,

Dhan Kiran Gurung
