Mother Teresa, the Nobel Peace Prize-winning Roman Catholic nun and missionary, arrived in India on 06 January 1929. Born as Anjezë Gonxhe Bojaxhiu in Skopje (now in North Macedonia), she later moved to Ireland and then to India, where she spent the majority of her life dedicated to helping the poor and sick.
In 1929, Mother Teresa arrived in Kolkata (formerly Calcutta), India, and began her work with the Missionaries of Charity. Over the years, she and her order established numerous hospices, orphanages, and clinics to provide care and support for the impoverished and those suffering from various illnesses.
Mother Teresa's selfless service and compassion earned her international acclaim, and she became a symbol of humanitarianism. She received various awards for her work, including the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979. Mother Teresa was canonized as a saint by the Catholic Church in 2016.
Her legacy continues through the Missionaries of Charity, the religious congregation she founded, which operates worldwide, providing care to those in need.
