The Gurkha Welfare Trust - Samachara Magazine (Summer 2026)

The latest edition of Samachara is now available to read online. It’s filled with stories of courage and determination – and the extraordinary difference your support makes to Gurkha veterans and their communities.

In this newsletter, we share the story of the remarkable recovery of Sun Maya Gurung, who developed a vertebral fracture whilst she was doing her housework due to weakened bones. Following a stay in our Residential Home, where she underwent rehabilitative therapy, she has regained her strength and is enjoying a level of independence she feared she had lost forever.

Also features the uplifting story of how the lives of many in the remote village of Bajung Phalane have been improved following the installation of our water project. The new system provides the whole village with fresh, safe, clean water.

In UK news, the GWT introduces two of our fantastic fundraisers and includes details of the ever-popular Annual Teddy Bear Auction, which will be live very soon.
