Charity work
Mrs. Blair set up the Cherie Blair Foundation for Women in 2008 to support women in low and middle income countries to start, sustain and grow successful businesses so that they can be financially independent, have a stronger voice in their societies, and contribute to their communities and economies. The Foundation works with partners to eliminate barriers to entrepreneurship for women, enabling global economic gender justice.
As Chancellor of the University, Mrs. Blair serves as the titular head of the institution and plays a significant role as an international advocate for the university and women's education, in addition to officiating in commencement proceedings. Mrs. Blair was unanimously elected by the University's International Support Committee, which is co-chaired by Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and Lone Dybkjaer, the wife of former Danish Prime Minister Poul Nyrup Rasmussen.
