A petition to award Abdul Sattar Edhi the Nobel Peace Prize has gathered close to 40,000 signatures in less than 24 hours.
Edhi, probably the best known humanitarian in the country, is the founder of The Edhi Foundation which is the largest non-profit social welfare organization in the world. Founded back in 1951 from a single room in Karachi, the Foundation now has the world’s largest ambulance service and operates free nursing homes, orphanages, clinics, women’s shelters, food kitchens, and rehabilitation centers for drug addicts and mentally ill individuals all across the country.
The value of these necessary services cannot be over-estimated in a nation where 60.3% of the population live on under 300 rupees per day and 40 million people live in poverty.
One of the greatest things about Edhi is that he has remained a humble man despite wild success in his charitable ventures. For most of his life, he has owned two pairs of clothes and has never drawn salary from the organization.
Edhi has dedicated his entire life to fighting inequality and helping the poor and is now failing in health. With this petition, tens of thousands are demanding that his life’s work be recognized. He will leave a rare humanitarian legacy to continue long after he is gone.
So let’s all unite and sign this petition and make sure the Nobel Peace Prize Committee honor this man with the Nobel Peace Price.

Noble prize bring good name to the country. Please think before you say some thing. Do you think that dr Abdul Salam and malala caused bad name for Pakistan. Tomorrow if respected Abdul sitar Edhi get the Noble prize, will you say same for him?
Mohammad how dumb you are .Malala wrote very controversial Book in which she wrote many things against Islam and obviuosly Abdus salam was a qadiani see thats how you get Nobel prize.
Edhi sahab has been doing tremendous job and a very simple guy thats why he can’t fulfill their criteria to get a Nobel prize
He is being sarcastic.
I am sure every single Pakistani loves EDHI SAHAB with all their heart. :)
Thanks! First time you did a good KAAM in your life. :)
you don’t know about my life
enlighten us please
Mene apne hisse ki shama jala di. ☺
The history of nobel peace prize is so tainted that it doesn’t matter if Edhi gets it or not. He’s a true hero, and that’s what the world needs to know and recognize.
I signed the petition and shared it with all my friends. :)
Thankyou “Syed Talal” for highlighting this. :)
Such type of prizes are only to be offered to fake people like Malalalalalalalalalala not for real humble people like Mr. Edhi.
