Once a Wall Street banker, Andy Stein decided to leave finance and founded the Orphaned Starfish Foundation (OSF), an organization he’s devoted to help girls and women in shelters and orphanages, particularly those in developing countries. OSF provides these women the opportunity to learn technical job skills, like IT management, web design, and full-on coding. Armed with these skills, they can leave the shelter and get jobs. Stein and OSF have established more than 50 computer centers in 25 countries, which have helped more than 10,000 women and children. His vision is to break a systemic cycle of poverty and exploitation, and OSF is well on its way to realizing that dream.
