∎ Manabik Shahajya Sangstha (MSS)
∎ Business : Manabik Shahajya Sangstha (MSS), a national level non-government organization, started its mission to stand by the distressed people with humanitarian aid when the country was hit by a massive flood in 1974. Having an organizational shape in 1977, MSS redirected its focus to poverty alleviation and empowerment of the poor, especially the urban and rural women of Bangladesh. Thereafter, MSS started health and population services in 1982; an integrated savings and credit program for the urban poor in 1984 which has since become sustainable. MSS was again in the front line when focus of development shifted to building democratic societies and promoting good governance.

Alongside working for poverty alleviation of the marginalized people, MSS is also promoting child rights, food security, health and nutrition services, housing and non-formal primary education with a vision to establish a society free from poverty where there is equality among citizens and citizens’ rights are respected.

Women’s Credit Program (WCP), the flagship program of MSS is operating with nearly 230,000 members through 152 branches in 102 upazillas and thanas of 17 districts all over the country.
