Gorkha Development Scheme

Directions Website

Gorkha Development Scheme Gorkha Development Scheme is a small charity founded in 1988, with the aim of working with the community in Gorkha, Nepal. Our current focus is to:

1.

We work with our sister charity in Gorkha, and have been involved in many projects over the years. Develop children’s health awareness through training, and improving sanitation facilities.
2. Sponsor children in school, to ensure they complete their education.
3. Encourage women’s participation in the community.
4. Encourage volunteering experiences in Nepal.
5. Enable medical students to undertake their electives in the local hospital.
6. We also encourage the community to develop proposals for projects which may help the community in some way. Run by a small group of Volunteers in the South East of England, we have several fundraising events a year, and aim to raise as much money as possible, with all money raised going directly to the projects in Nepal. If you would like to get involved as a volunteer, or if you would like to help fundraising, sponsor a child or sponsor one of our other projects then please contact us, we would love to hear from you!

Landslides cause delays with transport.

The main highway from Kathmandu to Gorkha was closed and many rural roads and bridges washed away due to the flooding, landslides and the current monsoon season.
Though supplies requested by the flood torn region have now been sourced from Gorkha, Chitwan and Kathmandu, the GDHEDS team in Gorkha are facing such difficulties to get the emergency supplies where they are needed and we thank them for their amazing efforts we will keep you updated. 🙏

Please help us to help the people of Nepal. We have friends on the ground getting supplies to take to these areas in desperate need. All funds raised will be used to help people effected by the floods of Nepal.

On 26th August 2026, a catastrophic glacial collapse in northern Nepal triggered devastating flooding along the Bhote Koshi and Trishuli river systems.
