One of the most prominent figures of the 20th century, Mother Teresa is a symbol of love, care and compassion for the whole world. Her exemplary service for the destitute, message of spreading love and Mother Teresa quotes has been an inspiration for millions across the globe. Born in 1910 at Skopje (North Macedonia), Mother Teresa moved to India at the age of 19, spent a major part of her life in India and spent decades working for the poorest of the poor in Calcutta and adjoining areas.
Mother Teresa founded the ‘Missionaries Of Charity’ – an organisation that has been working for the helpless and needy including refugees, former prostitutes, the mentally ill, sick children, abandoned children, lepers, people with AIDS and the aged. Her vow to give wholehearted free service to the poorest of the poor has been central to the philosophy of several social workers working for the downtrodden.
