Ambulance centres and associated Ambulances
The number of ambulances will be increased from existing 400 ambulances to 650 ambulances over the next two years. The total cost of ambulance centres and associated ambulances will be approximately 56 million.
Rural Centres
Rural welfare centres will be established to organize medical and other aids to the poverty and drought-stricken areas of Utthal in Baluchistan, and Thar and Cholistan in Sind. These Centres will supplement the foundation’s relief centres already in operation.
Edhi community centres
In it’s next phase of development, highway centres, which are mainly located in rural areas, shall be converted into community centres to create awareness regarding literacy, health, sanitation, safe drinking-water and immunization.
Establishment of specialized centres for treatment
For treatment of renal problems and poor cancer patients, the foundation hopes to build specialized Hospitals and surgical units in Pakistan.
Ambulance aircraft
Five additional aircrafts will be acquired within the next three years. This will include 2 helicopters and 3 fixed wing aircrafts.
Construction of Hospitals at every 100 kilometers
During accidents on Highways, deaths occur due to non-availability of timely medical treatment. The foundation hopes to build traumatology centres during the next three years at every 100-kilometer to save precious lives.
Establishment of Reserve funds
In order to run Edhi services and meet recurrent expenditures on long-term footing, the foundation hopes to raise RS 400 million within the next 5 years as a reserve fund which will act as a fixed deposit base.
Edhi public Kitchen
Edhi foundation hopes to build public Kitchens in Major cities of Pakistan and in third world countries during the next three years for basic food supplies to the poor and needy. Presently they are in operation at Karachi, Lahore and Rawalpindi, as a pilot project.

Once Edhi came to Sargodha to our school and we donated something like Rs.20,000 to his foundation. There my uncle met some white dude who was extremely well dressed. My uncle spoke to him and found out that he is a Lawyer from some well knownBritish university (forgot the name of the univ. could be Oxford) and he had a well paid job until he found out abt Edhi and he left his job and came to Pakistan to work with Edhi. He said that Edhi foundation is extremely well organized, have air amublances and wut not, and if Edhi wanted, he could've made, if not fortune, a good living out of it (and i think he deservesit too), but he only takes minimal amout of income from the foundation to support his clothes and do waqat ki roti.
and lets not forget Edhi's wife Bilquees, yet another great lady. Lets just pray for them and hope that their lagacy will continue after them.
Re: A tribute To Mr. Abdul Sattar Edhi
An excellent post!
There is just soooo much work being done by Edhi foundation (in khi esp) that the city would literally become non functional if any of the elements were removed. Everything from burial of the dead to ambulances trying to fish their way out of heavy road blocks....Honestly, Edhi is a miracle for a corrupt city like Karachi...a true miracle...
We, as a qaum, just dont appreciate enough. I've noticed that whenever someone dies, praise rises almost instantly but while he/she is alive and delivering something to society, we take it for granted.
May Allah give him a long life, filled with health. I can just imagine the praise and coverage he'll get after death instead of now when it should be focused.
PS--I met Faisal Edhi a few years back, visiting government hospitals to talk with ER docs about ambulance services. A very humble, down-to-earth, young man, following the footsteps of Edhi himself.
