Bilquis Edhi – Saving the Infants

via www.theasiannews.co.uk

The little one survived because she was taken to one of the most remarkable couples in Pakistan, Bilquis Edhi and her husband Abdul Sattar Edhi who run the Edhi Foundation which simply cares for the cast-offs, the desperately poor, the injured and the crippled of Pakistani society. The sack baby was lucky. The foundation specialises in rescuing babies, but more tragically, making sure those it is too late to rescue alive at least find some dignity in death.
