Enduring extreme personal hardship and poverty, she set out to enable the poor of Calcutta to die with dignity in bed rather than on the dirty streets.

After taking her final vows in 1937, she went to Paris for medical training to prepare for her future work in India. Among the many establishments she founded was the Nirmal Hriday shelter for the dying and the leper colony of Shanti Nagar located near Asanol. Mother Teresa's work received worldwide recognition in the form of international fundraising activities and awards, including the Mother Teresa, Nobel peace prize, the proceeds of which were Catholic nun and humanitarian, used to help finance her numerous projects. 1910 - Her order, the Missionaries of Charity, opened hundreds of shelters, schools, orphanages, and clinics, and by the early 1990s was made up of about 3,000 sisters, working on five continents.
