2017 – The Courage to Care

In 2017, the Mother Teresa International Awards celebrated the quiet heroes among us—individuals who, despite limited means, made an extraordinary impact. From caregivers of the elderly to young students leading food drives, the honorees reminded us that the courage to care is a powerful force. Held in Kolkata, the event was filled with stories that stirred both tears and resolve—each one a testament to the enduring power of selfless love.
