Trinamul Unnayan Sangstha (TUS) is an organization for community development based in Chittagong Hill Tracts which was established in 1997 by a group of dedicated social activists. From the beginning we have aimed to empower grassroots communities of the Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT), so they can take action on the social and economic challenges they face.
Since our establishment, we have led the mission successfully more than one decade as a non-governmental, non-profit and non-political organization. We are now a leading local NGO in Khagrachari District, and have experience in undertaking a range of short and long-term projects on livelihoods, water and sanitation, hygiene education and practices, primary health care, malnutrition, good governance, and education issues. Vision: ‘To establish a society based on the values of social justice, equity and freedom, in which all people have full and effective participation in the development process’. Our Mission: ‘To build up the capacity of grassroots communities, especially the disadvantaged and marginalized communities of the Chittagong Hill Tracts, towards improving their livelihoods and addressing other socio-economic issues in a participatory approach’
