Albert Schweitzer was a renowned theologian, philosopher, physician, and humanitarian born in 1875 in Alsace, then part of the German Empire and now France. He earned acclaim for his work in various fields, including music, theology, and philosophy, before deciding to become a medical missionary in Africa at the age of 30. Schweitzer founded a hospital in Lambarene, Gabon, in 1913, where he provided medical care to thousands of people in need. His philosophy of “reverence for life” emphasized the importance of ethical and compassionate living, influencing generations of thinkers and activists. Schweitzer was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1952 for his humanitarian efforts. He continued his work in Africa until his death in 1965, leaving behind a legacy of selflessness, compassion, and dedication to the service of humanity.
