"The world is running today because of the efforts, love and empathy of a few good people. If it wasn’t for them, I don’t know where we would be. I have seen extreme poverty and suffering – all I can do is to make sure whoever comes to my door does not go away hungry." In 2002, Parveen Saeed heard news of a woman who had murdered her two children, because she was unable to feed them and could not bear to watch them slowly starve to death. Parveen thought that surely there is enough food in Pakistan that no one remained hungry, so she started Khana Ghar, a small dhaba (roadside restaurant) in Khuda Ki Basti in Karachi, where she provides a full meal to any one who wants to eat for only PKR 3 (£0.015 / $0.018).
