6. EDHI DESCRIBED IN 4 POINTS
• Firstly, Edhi Foundation is the largest and most
organized social welfare system in Pakistan.
• Secondly, it is a unique example of what ordinary
people can achieve through sincerity of purpose,
dedication and perseverance.
• Thirdly, Edhi Foundation embodies the spirit of
self-help, especially in a society where the notion
of self-reliance has not taken root.
• Fourthly, by focusing on alleviation of human
sufferings, Edhi Foundation has broken the
religious, geographical and racial barriers, thus
fostering the notion of welfare for all mankind.

7. CHALLENGES
Although the problems/challenges faced by such a
supported organization are minor, yet every thing
has its weaknesses.
• Initially Edhi was subject to a lot of pressure from
several quarters on initiating Jhoola service, and
although gradually it caught on yet there are
people who still consider the idea puerile.
• There are only two blood banks, one at Karachi
and the other at Mirpur, have no proper facilities
for storing and screening blood.

8. CHALLENGES (cont.)
• ambulance aircraft’s are yet to be established
and this phenomenon is contributing
enormously in slowing down the development
process
• Refugees Services are only available to a
handful of countries, namely Pakistan,
Afghanistan, Bahrain etc…

9. CHALLENGES (cont.)
• Funding Societies are limited to a very small
scale and the funding is unable to co-op with
rate at which the foundation is developing.
• the foundation needs strict rules that apply to
the future heir of the foundation so that it is
in safe hands
