It is both an honor and a profound responsibility to serve as the Executive Director of Social Advancement Through Unity (SATU) at this important moment in our journey. I step into this role following the untimely passing of our founder and former executive director, Mirza Shahadat Hossain, whose vision, integrity and lifelong commitment to social justice laid the foundation of SATU. His legacy continues to inspire our work and values.
Having grown within SATU over the years, I am deeply connected to the organization’s mission of empowering marginalized communities through inclusive development, financial inclusion and institutional strengthening. My focus as Executive Director is to uphold this legacy while guiding SATU toward sustainable growth, strong governance, donor compliance and impactful programming.
Together with our dedicated team, partners and communities, I am committed to strengthening SATU as a transparent, accountable and forward-looking organization—one that continues to create meaningful change and opportunities for those we serve.
