Mother Teresa, commonly known as Saint Teresa of Calcutta, was a Catholic nun and missionary who dedicated her life to helping those who were impoverished, ill, and people on the margins in Kolkata, India, as well as all over the world. She was a native of Skopje, which is now a part of North Macedonia, and was born there on August 26, 1910. She died away here on September 5, 1997.
Mother Teresa started an order of nuns called the Missionaries of Charity with the goal of assisting those in need, especially the poor and those suffering by diseases like leprosy and HIV/AIDS. Regardless of their history or beliefs, she and her sisters dedicated their lives to helping those who were homeless, sick, and abandoned by offering them food, shelter, and medical care.
