littleMORE NGO

The concept of littleMORE was conceived out of the personal experience. In April 2009, our core founder, Mrs. Leena Pawar was diagnosed with ‘Acute Myeloid Leukemia’,a highly incurable type of blood cancer. During her visits at the Tata Memorial Hospital Mumbai India,she saw the plight of other patients and their families which was heartbreaking. A lot of these patients were from lower socio-economic segments of the society, we're struggling to meet their medicinal, boarding and other daily expenses. During her stay, she noticed young children in the pediatric oncology missing crucial school lessons. Fortunately, Mrs. Pawar was no ordinary patient. She chose not to wallow in self-pity over a bad hand dealt by life. In spite of her personal grievances that accompany cancer treatment, she felt absolute compassion for those around her. She decided to help and support the needy by launching the NGO - littleMORE with support from the Tata Memorial Hospital.
