The project, launched in partnership with international charity Oxfam and the Rwandan government, includes 500 survivors of the 1994 mass genocide in Rwanda in central Africa.
The mission is headed by Cherie Blair, the trust's president and wife of former British prime minister Tony Blair, and Raj Loomba, the London-based NRI businessman who began the trust in the memory of his mother who had a difficult time as a widow.
It was launched in Rwanda's capital city Kigali.
In India, the Loomba Trust works in 29 states helping more than a 100 widows by assisting them in setting up their own business and helping their children go to school.

Loomba Trust reaches out to widows in Rwanda
The so-called business tycoons like Raj Loomba, are expanding their business in poor developing countries under the guise of charity and philanthropy. The country government’s (including Indian Government) must closely monitor and scrutinize the work of these kind of charities and the funds collected in developed countries for such purposes by NRIs. I should say that Cherie must be careful in associating herself, one day she will be in trouble. The show in Rwanada must not be so different than in India, which is quite poor and with ambiguous facts.
