She made little buildings or houses with nurses that volunteered, and searched for homeless and sick people on the streets. After, they found these people, Mother Teresa took them into her little hospital building and took care of them until they died.

The overwhelming public image of Mother Teresa, fostered by the Catholic Church, is that she was a tireless worker for the poor, helping countless destitute and dying people. This of course is an exaggeration. Her greatest wish was not to save lives or alleviate suffering, to baptise people as Christians before they died.
There is no doubt that Mother Teresa did some good work to helpe the poor of Calcutta and elsewhere, but Aroup Chatterjee, an Indian-born writer living in Britain, says that the public image of Mother Teresa as a "helper of the poor" is misleading. He says that only a few hundred people are served by even the largest of the homes operated by Mother Teresa's order, the Missionaries of Charity. Chatterjee alleged that many operations of the order engage in no charitable activity at all but instead use their funds for missionary work. He stated, for example, that none of the eight facilities that the Missionaries of Charity run in Papua New Guinea have any residents in them, being purely for the purpose of converting local people to Catholicism.
A useful comparison is provided by the Stern magazine report about Mother Teresa, which says the Assembly of God charity serves 18,000 meals daily in Calcutta, many more than all Mother Teresa's Mission of Charity homes together. Looked at in that light, perhaps too much emphasis is placed on the work of Mother Teresa.
