The People Behind The Mission
Aditi Loomba
Founder, Neera Loomba Foundation
As a dentist, a mother, and a woman deeply connected to the roots of India, I have always believed in the power of compassion and community. Having practiced dentistry in Dubai since 2011, I’ve had the privilege of serving people in a healing capacity every single day. But it was the sudden loss of my mother-in-law, Neera Loomba—a woman whose life was defined by empathy and service—that truly shifted something within me.
She was not only the matriarch of our family but a quiet warrior who devoted her life to charitable work in rural and underserved parts of India. After her passing, we felt a deep responsibility to continue her legacy—not just in sentiment, but in action. That’s how the Neera Loomba Foundation was born.
Our mission is to empower women, nurture children, promote sustainable living, and support the holistic development of rural India. We work on the ground—creating access to education, health, skill-building, and care, especially for those who need it most.
What makes this foundation truly unique is that it’s a family-led movement. My daughters, Sumaira (13) and Kenisha (10), actively contribute their ideas and perspectives to every project. They remind me every day that impact starts at home and grows outward.
The Neera Loomba Foundation is not just a tribute—it’s a growing ecosystem of hope, inclusion, and action.
We invite you to join us—invest in impact, and help build a future where every woman and child has the opportunity not just to survive, but to thrive.
Together, let’s turn empathy into a legacy.

Aanchal Jain
I am an artist based in Dubai, UAE.
I find inspiration in the everyday pulse of city life—the little things we often overlook. The constant building and rebuilding around us fascinates me; it feels like a reflection of who we are and what we value.
Through my work, I explore this transformation and imagine a future that grows with nature, not against it.
My interest in philanthropy ties into this vision—I’m driven by the idea that creative work can contribute to communities, spark dialogue, and support more inclusive, sustainable ways of living.
My relationship with Neera Loomba, a deeply spiritual woman, felt natural from the start—and becoming part of her NGO feels like a meaningful continuation of that connection, aligned with my belief in compassionate engagement.
