The star famously founded the oprah winfrey leadership academy for girls, a boarding school in South Africa which opened in 2007 and houses 172 girls.
She said: 'It is more rewarding than I would ever have imagined. I was doing this to help them, but it has brought a light to my life that I can’t explain...
'When people were pressuring me to get married and have children, I knew I was not going to be a person that ever regretted not having them, because I feel like I am a mother to the world’s children.
Oprah has previously spoken about a premature baby she lost when she was just aged 14, who she named Canaan.
She continued: 'Love knows no boundaries. It doesn’t matter if a child came from your womb or if you found that person at age two, 10 or 20. If the love is real, the caring is pure and it comes from a good space, it works.'
She continued: 'For me it was perfect, because I didn’t want babies. I wouldn’t have been a good mom for babies. I don’t have the patience. I have the patience for puppies, but that’s a quick stage! But this is so rewarding.'
Oprah also revealed that she's finally found a sense of freedom having lost over three stone in weight... and kept it off.
