Annually on the anniversary of the death of Mother Theresa (September 5, 1997), the United Nation's International Day of Charity focuses on giving back to the community via time, money, or expertise. Charity is one of the foundational principles of every primary faith and is considered a bedrock of humanity.
Mother Teresa, born Anjezë Gonxhe Bojaxhiu in 1910, was an Albanian-Indian Roman Catholic nun and missionary. The poverty she saw in Kolkata (Calcutta), India, moved her to serve the poorest of the poor. In 1950, she founded the Missionaries of Charity, a Roman Catholic religious congregation dedicated to serving those in great need. The organization established hospices, orphanages, leper houses, and schools worldwide.
Mother Teresa received numerous awards throughout her life, including the Ramon Magsaysay Peace Prize in 1962 and the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979. However, she also faced criticism for her views on contraception and abortion and the living conditions in the establishments she founded.
She died in 1997 and was canonized as Saint Teresa of Calcutta by Pope Francis in 2016.
