(I-Newswire) November 23, 2009 - Olga Murray and Maggie Doyne are two American women doing pioneering work to transform the lives of destitute children in Nepal. The biggest difference between them is that Olga is 84 years old and is rescuing Nepali children after her retirement, while Maggie is 22 and decided to move to Nepal instead of going to college.

On June 4, 2009, Maggie won $100,000 at the DoSomething.org Awards for outstanding world-changers under age 25.

Olga Murray was a staff attorney at the California State Supreme Court in San Francisco from 1954 until her retirement in 1992, where she helped write important decisions in the areas of children’s issues and women’s rights. Shocked by the terribly impoverished condition of the children in Nepal, she founded the Nepalese Youth Opportunity Foundation (NYOF) in 1990. Olga spends most of each year in Nepal, and the remainder in Sausalito, California.

NYOF saves Nepali girls from virtual slavery as bonded servants. For only $100, NYOF brings a girl home to her family, gives her family a piglet or goat, and supports her education. NYOF also rescues children from severe malnutrition, provides loving homes for extremely disadvantaged youth, and is one of Nepal’s biggest non-governmental donors of scholarships.

After finishing high school, while her friends were going to college, Maggie Doyne traveled across Asia. Like Olga, she fell in love with the children of Nepal. Maggie established The Blinknow Foundation and raised money to build a home for abandoned and orphaned children. Just two years later, Maggie’s organization now provides underprivileged children with scholarships, facilitates life-changing surgery, and improves schools in remote areas. Maggie is using the $100,000 award to build an excellent school in an area where decent schools are not available.

Both Olga Murray and Maggie Doyne are available for interviews.
