Abdul Sattar Edhi
Founder Profile
Born in 1928 in the small village of Bantva near Joona Garh, Gujrat (India), Abdul Sattar Edhi's journey of compassion began with the seeds planted in his soul during his mother's illness. At the age of eleven, when his mother became paralyzed and later suffered from mental illness, Edhi devoted himself to her care.
He undertook the responsibilities of cleaning, bathing, changing clothes, and feeding her. Despite his efforts, the battle against the disease proved to be challenging, and his mother's helplessness grew over the years. This early experience shaped Edhi's lifelong commitment to alleviating the suffering of humanity.

Faisal Edhi
Head of the Edhi Foundation
The visionary & courageous man who did not take money from the government, he wished to domesticate the habit of giving in the Pakistani people. He finally succeeded. Late Abdus Sattar Edhi's golden words, that often the people who have the least, give the most.When he started his work, he was penniless. He sat on the street and asked for donations not for himself but to help people in greater need. “I begged. And people gave,” he said. From the very beginning, people passing Edhi on the street trusted him to do good with their money.
