The Edhi Foundation is a non-profit unique social welfare program in
Pakistan founded by Abdul Sattar Edhi in 1951 as one man operating from a
single room in Karachi.
This amazing foundation now has over 300 centers across the country
including centers all over the world providing 24 hour emergency
assistance across Pakistan and also abroad. The foundation also gave
relief to the victims of hurricane Katrina.
Some of the many services provided include shelter for the destitute,
free hospitals, education, healthcare and orphanages. The value of these
necessary services cannot be over-estimated in a nation where 60.3% of
the population live on under £2 per day and 40 million people live in
poverty.
The noble and unassuming man is a living saint who has devoted his life
to address both the causes and results of such inequity, is now failing
in health. He is worthy of recognition of his remarkable achievements
during his life-time and will leave a rare humanitarian legacy to
continue long after he is gone. Let's all unite and sign this petition
and make sure the Nobel Peace Prize Committee honor this man with the
Nobel Peace Price.
