The Issue

Edhi is an exceptional humanitarian who, along with his wife Bilquis Edhi, has dedicated his life to providing social services to the impoverished and under-serviced citizens of Pakistan at first, and now providing ambulance and other social services in Africa, the Middle East, eastern Europe, and even the US. Edhi stepped in to fill an immense void in Pakistan where the state failed to provide its citizens with basic and necessary social services and has been the only source of hope and aid for orphans, widows, the poor, and those faced with calamity for decades. Today, Edhi has commenced to provide similar services in other impoverished regions of the globe, and has done so in an entirely charitable manner. In a country marked with civil strife, impoverishment and violence, Edhi is a rare stroke of empathy for humankind , and a rare example of genuine generosity and compassion.

Edhi is undoubtedly one of the most deserving individuals of our day for recognition as an ambassador for peace and social service and for his immense contribution to humanity.
