VOICED : Edhi the obstinately humble hero to Pakistans masses

Abdul Sattar Edhi, a revered figure in Pakistan, founded the country's largest welfare organization. Initially working alone, he later expanded with his wife Bilquis, establishing maternity wards and shelters through donations. Motivated by personal tragedy, Edhi filled a welfare void, starting with a clinic and later acquiring ambulances. His foundation now operates 1500 ambulances and numerous shelters. Despite criticism for his inclusive approach, Edhi remained committed to helping all, regardless of background. In his later years, he passed management to his son, Faisal. Edhi's humble lifestyle contrasts with his significant impact, earning him multiple Nobel Peace Prize nominations.
