MCC partner organization

SUSS is an MCC partner org. They work to reduce early marriages, in education, in advocacy, and the exuctive director, a woman, has an amazing optimistic outlook about Bangladesh. She started the organization after being married very young and going through very tough hellish circumstances. Now she advocates and provides these young women with and opportunity to learn sewing and handicraft skills. By learning these skills, their family sees that they can contribute, and will not marry them off at such a young age.
Batik in the making.
