46 Years in Action

Our work continues to shape the lives of many women, who battle against the odds in foreign lands by offering both pre and post departure support and training.

USS started its journey back in 1979 in the Saghata Sub-district of Gaibandha in Bangladesh. As a non-profit organization, USS has been working with the poor, disadvantaged, marginalized people and communities especially rural women to achieve sustainable development in remote rural areas. The organization is established around an event. The current executive director of the organization, while a student, saw an elite man in the village beating an innocent poor helpless family and harassing them by the police. Then the director along with some friends proved to the police that the poor and helpless family was innocent and later the police released the family. The Executive Director and the founder of USS realized from the incident that injustice can be protested in the society if everyone is in alliance, and the only way to be in this alliance is to stay organized. From that realization, USS started its first journey on 18 May 1979.
