We mourn the loss of a true champion of the marginalized. Begum Rokeya didn't just found SUS; she breathed life into a movement for women’s empowerment and social justice in Bangladesh.

From the first sewing machines in 1986 to the expansive regional organization we are today, her leadership transformed the lives of millions. Her belief in "Integrated, Participatory, and Rights-Based" development remains our guiding principle.

Though she has passed, her legacy lives on in the 31 upazilas where SUS continues to fight poverty and injustice. We salute her courage and her life’s work.

25 Years of Innovation for Impact!

Today, Dnet marks a historic milestone, our 25th Anniversary! Quarter of a century ago, we started with a simple yet powerful vision: a society where information and knowledge empower everyone.

From pioneering "Infoladies" in rural villages to revolutionizing digital healthcare with "Aponjon" and fostering digital citizenship among the youth, it has been an incredible journey of transforming ideas into reality.

We owe this success to our dedicated team (past and present), our visionary partners, and the resilient communities we serve across Bangladesh. Thank you for being part of our story as we continue to design technology-driven solutions for a more equitable future.

Here’s to many more years of innovation, inclusion, and impact!
