Mother teresa where is the donation money

So the sisters took over the financial management themselves in Susan Shields served the order there for a total of nine and a half years as Sister Virgin. It was a conveyor belt process: some sisters typed, others made lists of the amounts, stuffed letters into envelopes, or sorted the cheques.

Donors often dropped their envelopes filled with money at the door. Before Christmas the flow of donations was often totally out of control. How much then, were they collecting in Europe or the world? While the income is utter secret, the expenditures are equally mysterious. The order is hardly able to spend large amounts. The establishments supported by the nuns are so tiny inconspicuous that even the locals have difficulty tracing them.

Conspicuous or useful assistance cannot be provided there. The order often receives huge donations in kind, in addition to the monetary munificence.

Boxes of medicines land at Indian airports. Donated food grains and powdered milk arrive in containers at Calcutta port. Clothing donations from Europe and the US arrive in unimaginable quantities. Unlike with other charities, the Missionaries of Charity spend very little on their own management, since the organisation is run at practically no cost.

The approximately sisters in countries form the most treasured workforce of all global multi-million dollar operations. Having taken vows of poverty and obedience, they work for no pay, supported by , good citizen helpers. But for purchase or rent of property, the sisters do not need to touch their bank accounts.

Her method was also successful in Germany. Four sisters work there. The architecturally conspicuous building cost DM2. The fortunes of the order have not spent a penny toward the amount.

The money was collected by a Christian association in Hamburg. With Mother T as figure head it was naturally short work to collect the millions. Mother Teresa saw it as as her God given right never to have to pay anyone for anything. England is one of the few countries where the sisters allow the authorities at least a quick glance at their accounts. Here the order took in DM5. And expenses including charitable expenses? Whatever happened to the rest of the money?

How much to which countries is not declared. One of the recipients is however, always Rome. The fortune of this famous charitable organisation is controlled from Rome, — from an account at the Vatican bank. And what happens with monies at the Vatican Bank is so secret that even God is not allowed to know about it. Most of the money remains in the Vatican Bank.

The order has never answered. The Polish lady was a Missionary of Charity for 5 years. What happens to them? Most of these lie around uselessly forever. The millions that are donated to the order have a similar fate. Once I asked the sister who was in charge of accounts if I should add up all those very many cheques and send the total to Ethiopia. By the accounts of former sisters, the finances are a one way street.

Taking is holier than giving. The sufferers are the ones for whom the donations were originally intended. Or, to put in straight, they have it run for them, since volunteer helpers organise everything, including food.

The sisters might distribute it. Once, Shields remembers, the helpers made an organisational mistake, so they could not deliver bread with their meals. The sisters asked their superior if they could buy the bread. Shields has experienced countless such incidents.

One girl from communion class did not appear for her first communion because her mother could not buy her a white communion dress. So she had to wait another year; but as that particular Sunday approached, she had the same problem again.

Shields Sr Virgin asked the superior if the order could buy the girl a white dress. Again, she was turned down — gruffly. The girl never had her first communion. The nuns run a home in Delhi, in which the orphans wait to be adopted by, in many cases, by foreigners.

As usual, the costs of running the home are borne not by the order, but by the future adoptive parents. In Germany the organisation called Pro Infante has the monopoly of mediation role for these children. The behavioral problems arising as a result cannot be overlooked.

The Missionaries of Charity has have the means to buy cots and build orphanages, — with playgrounds. And they have enoungh money not only for a handful orphans in Delhi but for many thousand orphans who struggle for survival in the streets of Delhi, Bombay and Calcutta. All very well, but as her poor organisation quickly grew into a rich one, what did she do with her pictures, jewels, inherited houses, cheques or suitcases full of money?

If she wished to she could now cater to people not by obsessively indulging in saving, but instead through well thought-out spending.

But the Nobel Prize winner did not want an efficient organisation that helped people efficiently. Computers, typewriters, photocopiers are not allowed. Even when they are donated, they are not allowed to be installed. For book-keeping the sisters use school notebooks, in which they write in cramped penciled figures.

Until they are full. Then everything is erased and the notebook used again. All in order to save. For a sustainable charitable system, it would have been sensible to train the nuns to become nurses, teachers or managers. But a Missionary of Charity nun is never trained for anything further. Fueled by her desire for un-professionalism, Mother Teresa decisions from year to year became even more bizarre. But rumors surrounded the saint upon her death, as The New York Times revealed that maybe the Vatican should have waited to canonize her since her charity was one of the world's richest organizations but hardly ever revealed where the money went or how it was spent.

It was also reported that on her watch, her facility was found not to follow protocols such as quarantining tuberculosis patients, and they would not prescribe pain medication. According to the outlet, Mother Teresa believed that agony brought you closer to God. Upon Mother Teresa's death, it was revealed that she had saved a lot of her money over her lifetime. The icon for compassion was always thought to put others before herself and could often be found helping someone in need or showing no fear when caring for a person with leprosy.

But how much truth is there to the rumor she died with a high net worth? Question More reported that, at the time of her death, Mother Teresa could have bankrupted the Vatican if she ever chose to withdraw her money.

An Italian journalist named Gianluigi Nuzzi wrote a book entitled The Original Sin, where he claimed Mother Teresa had "by far the most cashed-up account. Nuzzi uncovered accounting slips from secret bank accounts that Mother Teresa held in her charity's name in the problematic Vatican bank. The tell-all concluded that Mother Teresa's cash savings were what kept the spotty institution going.
