Her life's work and profound impact have left an indelible mark on global humanitarian efforts. In 1929, she arrived in India and began her novitiate in Darjeeling. She later took her vows as a nun and was assigned to teach at St. Mary’s School in Calcutta.
In 1950, she founded the Missionaries of Charity, a religious congregation dedicated to helping the "hungry, naked, homeless, crippled, blind, lepers, and all those people who feel unwanted, unloved, uncared for throughout society, people that have become a burden to the society and are shunned by everyone. In 1979, Mother Teresa was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for her humanitarian work. During her acceptance speech, she emphasized the importance of peace and love.
Mother Teresa’s work was grounded in the principles of love, compassion, and service to humanity. She believed in the inherent dignity of every person and dedicated her life to alleviating suffering.
