In an ever changing context, where emerging issues raise questions for the development community on the way of development processes have been and are being designed and supported, it is important to critically assess prevailing visions about development and adapt them, or even adopt alternative, more suitable approaches. For this reason, better life exercise is the first step of social development which needed economic and social freedom which may bring out through the integrated efforts. Eventually, near about 30 years before Ulashi Sreejony Sangha (USS) starts the way forward with the active participation of the poor marginalized community through its road map. With a view to the multiple irrigation system including IRRI cultivation, the Betrabati river which is flown over the Sharsha and Jhikargacha Upazilas, is re-excavated through the volunteer service by the leadership of few dedicated local people. Basically, this is the starting point of USS. In 1999, USS started its interventions through SHAHAR Project funded CARE Bangladesh and UNICEF, Local Rights Program by Actionaid Bangladesh, Wetland Campaign by Oxfam, Climate Resilient project by CAFOD, JEWEL project by Traidcraft & Big Lottery fund –UK, Promoting Right of Dalit Comunity by Manusher Jonno oundation, Basic literacy and VGD program by the Government of Bangladesh and others. From its inception USS is developing manpower, new project activities and working areas as well.
Along with the poor and marginalized community, USS is continuing its work with the disaster affected vulnerable community to cope with climatic change and adaption. USS has undertaken various activities like – diversified and Climate Resilient Sustainable Agriculture, disaster preparedness activities, support for person with disabilities, Income Generating Activities (IGAs), education for out of school children, dalit rights. women rights & entrepreneurship development, research, publications and networking etc. By the skilled manpower of USS who is highly committed, these interventions have been performed smoothly for improving the lives and livelihoods of the deprived people of the community so that they can live with social dignity.
My sincere gratitude to the Government of Bangladesh, International donor community, USS team members, well-wishers, community people and USS Governing body members whose cordial support and guidance inspires us towards every success.
USS believes in team work and I expect together we will be able to materialize our dreams true.
Wishing the best for
