Abdul Sattar Edhi, A hero of Humanity

Edhi and his family migrated to Pakistan in 1947. In order to earn his living, He started as a peddler, later becaming a commission agent selling cloth in the wholesale market in Karachi. After a couple of years, he left this occupation and with the support of some members of his community decided to establish a free despensary. He became involved in this charity work. However, soon his personal ambition to establish a welfare trust of his own and named it "Edhi Trust". An appeal was made to the public for funds. The response was good, and Rs. 20,000 were collected.
The range and scope of work of Edhi Trust expanded with remarkable speed under the driving spirit of the man behind it. A maternity home was established and emergency ambulance service was started. More donations were received as people's confidence in the activities of the trust grew. With the passage of time, masses gave him the title of the "Angel of mercy".

"I am Muslim but I am a Humanitarian above all, because the basic principals of all religions are rooted in humanity." Abdul Sattar Edhi
