Know More About The Loomba Foundation

The Loomba Foundation is named after a remarkable lady, Shrimati Pushpa Wati Loomba, who had become a widow at the early age of 37 and who, in the face of many obstacles, made sure all seven of the family’s children, boys and girls, completed their education and got the best opportunities to succeed in life.

The Loomba Foundation wants to support the 46 million widows in India, particularly those who live in dire poverty and in rural areas. There can be no more valuable or important work than empowering widows who have been cast aside by society and left unable to look after themselves and their children, to give them the skills and the means to help themselves in a wide range of trades from hospitality to tourism, sewing and tailoring to beauty and healthcare, and food processing. These women have so much to give, if only we can give them the respect and the power to make their own contribution to society. They can educate their children and lead a life of dignity.
