"Holding the Missionaries of Charity accountable for their medical negligence and misuse of donations" STOP The Missionaries of Charity
By Hemley Gonzalez: I worked as a volunteer in one of Mother Teresa's homes in Calcutta, India for a period of two months at the end of 2008. It was during this time that I was shocked to discover the horrific and negligent manner in which this charity operates and the direct contradiction of the public's general understanding of their work.

After further investigation and research, I realized that all of the events I had witnessed amounted to nothing more than a systematic human rights violation and a financial scam of monumental and criminal proportions.

Workers washing needles under tap water only to be reused again. Medicine and other vital items being store for months on end, expiring and eventually still applied sporadically to patients. Volunteers with little or no training carrying out dangerous work on patients with highly contagious cases of Tuberculosis, leprosy and other life threatening illnesses, while the workers of the charity patently refuse to accept and implement machinery and equipment that would safely automate processes and save lives.

It was Mother Teresa's own admission during an interview that more than 23,000 people had died in the halls of one of the missions home; boasting at the number if you will and missing entirely the point of the enormous compilation of unnecessary deaths.

Not once in its sixty year history, have the Missionaries of Charity reported the money they've taken in donations, what percentage they use for administration and where the rest has been applied and how. Since its inception, defectors of the organization and other journalists have placed the figure upwards of one billion dollars and counting. The mission currently operates 450 plus homes and maintains an average of 4,000 workers.

If any other organization did this systematically for six decades, there would be arrests and criminal charges; so why the exception here?

Many followers of Mother Teresa and her charity have irrationally argued in her defense while completely ignoring the ACTUAL deaths caused by the organization which in it of itself is quite troubling. While I agree that poverty is ugly, grueling and heartbreaking and it won't go away in two months or a year I have also seen how easy it is for many to swipe a credit card or send a check and in return spend hours claiming the good that's done with it but in this case, it couldn't be more inaccurate.

Mother Teresa herself had also repeatedly admitted that she was not a social worker, and her followers continue to assert the same. So under what motives do they tend to the poor you may ask? The mantra of the operation rests solely on the belief that suffering and poverty are ways of loving god, something that when explained to even people of faith makes no sense at all! In short, they are there to move people to their deaths rather than actually looking for ways to fix the problem that is poverty.

I have started this group and other projects to denounce the Missionaries of Charity and their work and bring worldwide attention to the acts committed by them on daily basis. I strongly believe that as humans we most help our fellow humans in need with 100% transparency and not in return of those we help having to agree with whatever spiritual path we may choose.

Continuing to air these facts about Mother Teresa's Missionaries of Charity and organizations like hers bring attention to the fraud and manipulation that exists and helps point good people everywhere to responsible charities that work to empower men, women and children in need the world over.

  • I volunteered for a month in Prem Dam (House of the Dying) and for all the millions of dollars in tax free donations not a penny was spent on proper medical treatment. The people of Kolkatta don't need the MC. The MC desperately need them! During my time there I felt like I was watching a movie set in Auschwitz!

  • Pathetic. Better to die than accept the charity of these mentally deranged people. Actually people are brought here to die a slow death. The charity seen in Hindu pilgrimages or Ashrams is much better.

  • People are often unreasonable, irrational and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.

    If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.

    If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies. Succeed anyway.

    IF you are honest and sincere people may deceive you. Be honest and sincere anyway.

    WHAT YOU SPEND YEARS CREATING, OTHERS COULD DESTROY OVERNIGHT. CREATE ANYWAY...

  • Certainly will send many prayers to you, so sorry you missed the beauty may god open your eyes, and restart your heart!

    If anyone wants to question this.... volunteer your time, your life and the lifes of the people you meet will be changed forever!

  • christians are gay and wankers too.

  • Mother Teresa isn't a social worker, that's right and that's not what she wanted to be. She never promised to cure the world. Or even to save lives. Her work, and the work of her sisters, is to love the people who are dying on the streets, etc. I would rather die in one of the homes than on the streets. This is at least a step for those people the MC's are helping. And please, don't over generalize. Just because a couple sisters are harsh, or unknowledgeable doesn't mean they are all like that.

  • I am living in Kolkata as we speak and working with MC's as I did all of last year

    I see only charity, good works and a great love for poor and those seeking help from the MC's !!

  • @Creosmary So, you're condoning the mistreatment of others and consider it slanderous to provide to truth of what goes on in these missionaries?

  • You totally misunderstand or cannot realise the MC Charism, nobody is 'forced' to do anything or be denied anything. You do not know the virtue of charity and you do not know how India works

    There is a large group of us who will be taking legal action against you on behalf of the MC sisters for slander and lies. Rome also has been informed>

    I sad for you that you cannot see with eyes of love, only eyes of greed and insult, I pray for you.
