Question

How did Mother Teresa start work for the poverty-stricken people?​

Answer 1

She started an open-air school for homeless children. Soon she was joined by voluntary helpers, and she received financial support from church organizations and the municipal authorities. She begged for food and supplies to help the poor. She also began teaching children how to care for themselves. Sister Teresa saw a need for children to be educated so she taught them lessons by writing in the dirt because they had no books and nothing to write with.
