Message from the Executive Director
DSUS passed another eventful year 2009-2010. The experience that has been
accumulated in 2009-2010 is a great asset for all the staff and, volunteers of DSUS,
which will lead all of us to materialize our dream "A Prosperous Bangladesh" There
are so many problems to face in our initiatives including the challenge of eradication
of poverty.
In year 2009-2010 we faced devastating flood caused by cyclone in Bangladesh for

many time. The flood had caused an enormous loss to the in field crop and households
of our field areas; almost all cultivated land went under the water for month or long
and people became homeless. It became moral duty for us to stand by the affected
people; we extended our hands completely in our own efforts and with the donor's
support.
Finally, I would like to thank all of my colleagues at DSUS for their relentless effort
to make all the programs successful during the year. Thanks go to the donors/partners,
who have provided us financial and Technical assistance in implementing all of the
programs. I like to thank Executive Committee (EC) and General Committee (GC)
members for their time and support for smooth implementation of the project
activities. My sincerest appreciation goes to all of the micro-credit group members,
child groups and beneficiaries of other programs for their co-operation.

activities. Regular’s savings and credit disbursement for employment creation
and income rising art the important work of the groups towards institution
building Institution is the main of the groups. Group formation has been
considered as an entry program of DSUS and groups on normally formed with
100% poor and under privileged people. The basic concept of DSUS
Development is not possible to the total development of female participation.
The development work then possible to the total development. So DSUS has
