'My religion is humanitarianism, which is the

basis of every religion in the world'

Abdul Sattar Edhi

Perhaps one of the greatest humanitarians to ever walk this earth, Abdul Sattar Edhi, born on 28 February 1928, was a Pakistani philanthropist and founder of the Edhi foundation: the largest run volunteer ambulance service in the world.

From early in his life, Edhi believed in humanitarianism displacing all other disciplines and faiths. He believed that all individuals, regardless of their status, were entitled to their basic human rights and needs. At a young age of only 19, Edhi's mother - whom he had taken care of for the past eight years due to her paralysis - passed away, leaving a resounding impact on Edhi and causing him to reflect and work to the betterment of all those affected by similar illnesses and in need of care.
