I nominate Abdul Sattar Edhi for the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize!

Abdul Sattar Edhi is the founder of the EDHI Foundation which provides free emergency services, hostels for the poor and even providing orphans with education, food and a home.

To this day, the Edhi Foundation continues to grow in both size and service, and is currently the largest welfare organization in Pakistan. Since its inception, the Edhi Foundation has rescued over 20,000 abandoned infants, rehabilitated over 50,000 orphans and has trained over 40,000 nurses. It also runs over three hundred and thirty welfare centers in rural and urban Pakistan which operate as food kitchens, rehabilitation homes, shelters for abandoned women and children and clinics for the mentally handicapped.

Edhi has remained a simple and humble man. To this day, he owns two pairs of clothes, has never taken a salary from his organization and lives in a small two bedroom apartment over his clinic in Karachi.  He has been recommended for a Nobel Peace prize by the Prime Minister of Pakistan.  On June 25, 2013 Edhi’s kidneys failed and it was announced that he will be on dialysis for the rest of his life, unless he finds a kidney donor.

Please sign this petition in support of the nomination of Abdul Sattar Edhi to receive the next Nobel Peace Prize while he is still alive and continuing to work hard to help others even though he is currenty 85 years old.
