I think that Mother Teresa had made a significant impact over the standard of living of the poverty. Incontrovertibly, her efforts not only moved those who benefited, it had also brought about the importance and efficiency of self-sacrifice.

In her life, she extended help and contributions to as many as she believed in helping. Through practical solutions and methods, she raised funds, trying to make a difference, One report said that at the time of her death in 1997, she was overseeing almost 700 centers of her Missionaries of Charity, which were operating in over one hundred countries. Her order has 5,000 nuns. These benefited a lot of the needy and motivated more people to help, as there is still a large population of the poor in the developing countries till now.

She had unknowingly, created a greater sense of compassion and motivated many others to follow after her, especially in India. She, alone, answered that phrase, "What can one person do?", with actions. The answer is “Yes. One can do a lot, depending on the person and the opportunities available to that person.” In an interview of Peter Drucker, the management guru, Drucker made an important point. The money she raised, compared to the needs at hand, was minimal, he said. But by captivating people’s hearts and minds, she multiplied total giving.
