Provenance & notes
TMSS traces to Thengamara Sabuj Sangha (1964), reformed and renamed by Ashoka Fellow Prof. Dr. Hosne Ara Begum in 1980 in Bogura; founded_year=1980 reflects the reform/renaming. Women-led multi-sectoral NGO with an MRA-licensed microfinance programme (regulator='multiple': NGO Affairs Bureau plus MRA). Figures from official 'At A Glance' page: 1,652 branch/service-delivery offices, 64 districts / 414 upazilas / 8 divisions, 24,174 permanent staff (used for staff_count; ~38,009 total personnel including volunteers/contract). Distinct microfinance-borrower and loan-portfolio totals not isolated to a single dated official figure, so active_members and loan_portfolio_bdt left null. Headquarters now in Mirpur, Dhaka, but organisational base/registration district is Bogura. [2026-06-08 audit correction] Staff count corrected 24,174 -> 14,218 permanent staff (official TMSS at-a-glance; total workforce ~38,009 incl. contract/project/volunteers).
