Tiny Tim and Friends

Tiny Tim and Friends operates in Southern Africa (Zambia), in the center of the AIDS epidemic, by helping orphans, vulnerable children and pregnant women who suffer from the consequences of HIV infection.  We focus on the full continuum of life; from prevention, to living positively with HIV and in some cases palliative care.  Our energy and resources target:

  • Medical Support - free medical care, medications, pain management, lab resources and a focus on educating patients on the importance of treatment adherence;
  • Counseling and Educational Services - patient and family support in treatment adherence, guidance in the disclosure process, educational efforts targeted on increasing follow up rate and intensive community outreach;
  • Nutritional Support - Our nutritional program not only focuses on getting people the food they need to survive, but also we teach them how to properly buy food for themselves, a skill they will be able to use once they are no longer enrolled in our program.
We are recognized as a local leader through our innovative outreach programs to vulnerable communities, particularly in cases that the public system has failed in reaching and our unique focus on prevention of mother to child transmission of HIV infection
