She ministered to the poor and sick in the impoverished streets of Calcutta, India. She founded the Missionaries of Charity in Calcutta where she lived. In 1997, she received the Nobel Peace Prize. In 1980, she received the highest Indian honor, the Bharat Ratna for her ministries. Her missionaries have now created missions all over the world.
