Tiny Tim and Friends

In 2003, a woman with AIDS, seven months pregnant and living in a bus terminal in Lusaka, Zambia was found by the good sisters of Kasisi Children’s Home.  After delivering the baby, Tim Meade, M.D. and a team of volunteers took turns bringing warm formula to the child.  Unable to care for her newborn son, the mother asked “Dr. Tim” to take care of the baby.  As a sign of gratitude, she named the baby Tim.

It was Tiny Tim’s story that inspired friends and family around the globe to get involved.  As a result, Tiny Tim & Friends was created.  To date, Tiny Tim & Friends has helped hundreds of HIV infected orphans and vulnerable children in Zambia receive essential medical care and educational support.
