Low income women continue fighting against poverty

By Didem Demircan | Coordinator

Dear KEDV supporters,

In Turkiye, in the last 4 months, we have been working in solidarity to try and heal traumas caused by the destructive earthquakes of February 6th. We also went through the national elections in May. The high inflation and the devaluation of Turkish Lira continued. These were all factors that impacted women micro entrepreneurs in their efforts to sustain their businesses.

Since our last report in February 2023, we were able to raise 1130 USD to give micro loans to 7 women entrepreneurs. The businesses that were supported were either homebased, in shops, or in the market place. They included knitting baby clothes, running tea shop, sewing clothes, selling clothes, selling handicraft materials, selling cosmetics. The women were able to buy products to sell and materials for their production activities with the help of the loans.

We are now closer to our target of USD70,000 to be able to support 200 low income women entrepreneurs, but we still have a way to reach it. The need is even more as the poverty is expanding in line with the increase of the prices and decrease of the purchasing power. We would be grateful if you could continue to spread the word and share the project link in your networks.

Warm regards…
