“Projects Intended for Women”

Our inclusive projects contribute to the greater inclusion of women in social and economic life. We believe that women add value to life and they are the pioneers of change in many areas. We value and support women's increased participation in business life, improvement of their conditions and protection of their rights. This is why we call all such initiatives and projects we have implemented as "Projects Intended for Women". We implement various projects to support women entrepreneurs in cooperation with many public and non-governmental organizations in Develi.

The Success Story of the Women Producers Development Project

The Women Producers Development Project is a joint initiative between the Develi District Governorship, Develi Municipality and Öksüt Madencilik, aimed at supporting women producers in the Develi district. The project provides a platform for women to sell food items, including vegetables, fruits, dairy products, bakery products and home-cooked food, and handicrafts, in a hygienic and inclusive environment. The Gacer Café, named after a local wheat, provided a comfortable and hygienic environment for the women to sell their products.

The aim of the project is to empower women entrepreneurs to a prominent position in the regional or local economy and to promote job creation. We recognize that women’s participation in working life and entrepreneurship activities are essential for the developing economy; and with this project, the women in the district will be provided with employment and economic freedom. The project strives to increase the visibility of practices that support women entrepreneurs by setting a positive example in the region.

The Women Producers Development Project has made significant strides in a short time and has had a profound impact on the lives of our women producers.
