Carrying Edhi’s legacy forward

Letter July 09, 2017
Without our help, Edhi Foundation won't be able to continue its selfless work for underprivileged segment of society

ISLAMABAD: July 8th marks the first death anniversary of Pakistan’s most cherished philanthropist Abdul Sattar Edhi. As tributes pour in on Twitter with the hashtag ‘MeinEdhiHoon’, and other social media platforms, we need to remember that it’s now upon us to carry forward his legacy along with this wife, Bilquis, and his son Faisal Edhi.

Without our help through financial funds or volunteer work, the Edhi Foundation will not be able to continue its selfless work and provide for the underprivileged segment of society. Let’s not only remember Edhi sahab on certain days, but make sure he continues to live in every corner of Pakistan through our social work.
