Message From The Chairman

People’s Development is in People’s Hand

Outsiders may help, but insiders must do their job.

In the mid-1980s, I dreamt of working with the poor and disadvantaged towards freedom from hunger, oppression, and exploitation. With encouragement from my wife and the support of dedicated partners, Unnayan Shahojogy Trust (UST) was founded in June 1986.
