Mother Teresa founded the Missionaries of Charity, a Roman Catholic religious order of women dedicated to the poor, particularly to those in India. The order opened numerous centers serving people in need, especially the blind and aged and people with disabilities. In 1952 she established Nirmal Hriday (“Place for the Pure of Heart”), a hospice for people with terminal illnesses.
