Our Work

The GPF currently comprises of 5 indigenous British and 6 British Nepalese trustees. We believe it is in the long term mutual interests of Britain and Nepal to overcome any differences and work together.

 

In our recent discussion with leading members of the Nepalese Government we earnestly requested that they should allow dual citizenship for Gurkhas and their dependants.

 

Speaking in Parliament to the Gurkha Welfare All Party Parliamentary Inquiry we suggested a fairer deal for the children of Gurkhas accessing higher education. Equipping the next generation with greater skills will contribute to both of our countries construction industries, healthcare, and security.

 

A positive and vibrant Nepal could eventually lead to economic opportunities for Britain, particular in humanitarian technology.
