For residents in the earthquake-affected provinces to continue their lives and return to normal as much as possible, it’s essential for them to keep working. If you wish to support the producers in the region and aid them in re-establishing their lives, you can make part of your purchases from local producers.
A solidarity campaign has been initiated to support local and boutique producers in all earthquake-affected provinces, especially in Hatay. We have compiled a list of some local producers in the earthquake region that have been widely shared on social media.
