The nun of the poor continues to live for the destitute,
the suffering and the dying people even 12 years after her death. The Albanian nun founded the Missionaries of Charity in 1950 "to give whole-hearted and free service to the poorest of the poor." She set up the landmark institutions of Nirmal Hriday (home for the dying), Shanti Nagar (a place for lepers) and Nirmala Shishu Bhavan (children's home). In 1979, she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
