Mother Teresa
1910 – 1997
Mother Teresa was a Catholic nun who spent most of her life caring for the poorest and sickest people in Calcutta, India. In 1950 she founded the Missionaries of Charity, an order of sisters devoted to helping people nobody else would help, which grew to operate in more than 130 countries. She won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979 for her work, and in 2016 the Catholic Church declared her a saint. She believed that small acts of love could change the world.
