Edhi lahir di [[Bantva]], [[Gujarat]], [[India Britania]] pada tahun 1928, kemudian ia pindah ke [[Karachi]], tempat ia mendirikan semacam apotek gratis bagi penduduk Karachi berpenghasilan rendah. Aktivitas-aktivitas amal Edhi diperluas pada tahun 1957 tatkala [[virus influenza A subtipe H2N2|suatu epidemi flu Asia]] melanda Karachi. Mengalirnya sumbangan memungkinkan dia membeli ambulans pertamanya pada tahun yang sama. Ia kemudian memperluas jaringan amalnya dengan bantuan [[Bilquis Edhi]] istrinya.<ref name=":0" /><ref>{{en}} {{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/09/world/middleeast/abdul-sattar-edhi-pakistans-father-teresa-dies-at-88.html?_r=0|title=Abdul Sattar Edhi, Pakistan's 'Father Teresa,' Dies at 88|date=8 July 2016|work=The New York Times|last1=Masood|first1=Salman|accessdate=9 July 2016}}</ref>
Sepanjang masa hidupnya di dunia ini, perluasan [[Edhi Foundation]] ditunjang sepenuhnya oleh sumbangan-sumbangan pribadi, salah satunya digunakan untuk pembangunan jaringan ambulans berarmada 1.800 minivan.
