Mother Teresa, born Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu, (1910-1997) was one of the 20th century's greatest-ever humanitarians, and her selfless work has been recognised all over the world.

She took her first vows as a nun in India in 1931 and went on to become the founder of the Order of the Missionaries of Charity, dedicated to helping the poor and the sick.

She received the Pope John XXIII Peace Prize in 1971, the Nehru Prize for promoting international peace and understanding in 1972, and in 1979 she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for her humanitarian work. She was canonised in 2016 by Pope Francis.
