Madre Teresa di Calcutta, born Anjezë Gonxhe Bojaxhiu in 1910, was a Roman Catholic nun and missionary known for her unwavering dedication to helping the impoverished and sick in Kolkata, India. She founded the Missionaries of Charity, a religious congregation that serves the 'poorest of the poor' and operates in over 130 countries. Her selfless work earned her numerous accolades, including the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979. Madre Teresa was canonized as a saint by the Catholic Church in 2016, and she remains an enduring symbol of compassion and humanitarianism.
