Abdul Sattar Edhi

Abdul Sattar Edhi was a Pakistani benefactor, anchorite and benevolent. He was the originator of Edhi foundation. Abdul Sattar Edhi was born on January 1, 1928 in Bantva in the Gujarat, British India into a Memon family. His mother turn out to be disabled from a stroke when he was just 11 years old and she passed away when he was 19 years old.

His own familiarities and supervision for his mother in the period of her sickness, made him to build up an arrangement of administrations for old and psychologically ill people. He had a dream of lines of beneficiary hubs and doctor’s facilities that could be initiated to relieve the discomfort of the people going through sickness and lack of care.

Regardless of his huge acclaim and the huge amounts of cash that delivered through his hands, Abdul Sattar Edhi followed an extremely humble and simple way of living. His family and he lived in a flat of 2 rooms head-to-head to the locations of Foundation’s headquarter.

He avoids marketing or promoting due to the distress of turning out to be proud. As the reliability and reputation developed and the label of Edhi turned out to be a house-hold name, individuals began calling him for becoming chief invitee on special events.
