Focusing on gender equality
The DIY kits were produced by women living in the Nusratlı village in Çanakkale. These past 10 years, they were selling home-made cheese, herbal teas, spices, olive oil, hand crafted textiles marked by their names in the association shop located in the village. Each of them made similar products alone and did not collaborate in the process. This project changed this and brought them together to produce the DIY kits. If the kits start to go into shelves in supermarkets, the project will be carried on by the women in the village and create an important income source for them.
