Missionaries of Charity

The Missionaries of Charity is a religious congregation founded by Mother Teresa in 1950, dedicated to serving the poorest and most vulnerable people worldwide. Members, primarily women, live in community and commit themselves to compassionate care for the sick, starving, homeless, and dying, regardless of their background or faith. Their work includes operating hospitals, hospices, and feeding programs, emphasizing humility and love. The organization aims to embody Christ’s compassion through direct service, seeking to bring dignity and hope to marginalized populations. Today, they operate in numerous countries, continuing Mother Teresa’s mission of selfless service to those in greatest need.
