The founder of Pakistan’s largest welfare organisation, Abdul Sattar Edhi, passed away on July 8 at the age of 92 as tributes swiftly poured in for the humble man almost unanimously revered as a national hero.
Motivated by a spiritual quest for justice, over the years Edhi and his team created maternity wards, morgues, orphanages, shelters, and homes for the elderly, picking up where limited government-run services fell short.
The government announced a state funeral and day of national mourning in honour of the man who owned just two sets of clothes, but whose work uplifting the nation’s destitute and orphans cemented his place in the hearts of masses.
