She won the CNN Hero of the Year award in 2010.
She has been called the "Mother Teresa" of Nepal for her work.

She was presented with the CNN Heroes Award 2010 in Los Angeles, California.

Currently, Maiti Nepal operates a rehabilitation home in Kathmandu, as well as transit homes at the Indo-Nepal border towns, preventive homes in the countryside, and an academy in Kathmandu.
As the name suggests, Maiti Nepal ("Maiti" means "mother's home" in Nepali) has been a refuge for women rescued from the brothels in India.
The women can stay in the homes run by Maiti Nepal until they can return to their homes, or if not accepted by their parents and society, they may stay until they become able to live on their own.
In 2018 Koirala received the G.O.D. Award.
