Late Edhi sahab was born in Gujarat district of British-ruled India but as soon as he migrated to Karachi, He soon noticed that many Pakistanis lacked shelter, medicine, education, and other essentials, and was moved to help in any way he could.

I was penniless and begged for donations on the street. And people gave.", google says about great Edhi.
