Global Unnayan Seba Sangstha (GUSS) is a Bangladeshi National NGO founded in 2012, and officially registered by the Social Welfare Directorate and NGO Affairs Bureau in 2017.
It works in 13 districts of Bangladesh and primarily aims to give aid to the neediest and most vulnerable people, such as the elderly, women, disabled, and displaced people. Its ultimate goal is to give power back to the powerless and through various projects, GUSS has slowly achieved more and more of that goal.
GUSS has worked extensively with the persecuted and displaced refugees from Myanmar who have taken shelter in Cox’s Bazar and Bashan Char Island. Through strategic partnerships with organizations such as BRAC, Muslim Aid USA, Human Relief Foundation-UK, BRTUK, and many more, GUSS has constantly addressed the needs of those people who are overlooked in the country. The NGO collaborates with the Bangladeshi government, community organizations, development partners, and UN agencies to align with Sustainable Development Goals.
