She founded a home for the dying destitute and named it Nirmal Hridoy, meaning 'Pure Heart. She and her fellow nuns gathered the dying people off the streets of Kolkata and brought them to this home. They were lovingly looked after and cared for. Since then men, women and children have been takeri from the streets and carried to Nirmal Hridoy.

Those who survive, the Missionaries of Charity try to find jobs for them or send them to homes where they can live happily for some more years in a caring environment. Regarding commitment to family, Mother Teresa said, “May be in our own family, we have somebody, who is feeling lonely, who is feeling sick, who is feeling worried. Are we there?

We must remember that love begins at home and we must also remember that future of humanity passes through the family.”Mother Teresa's work has been recognised throughout the world and she has received a number of awards.
