The earthquake region used to be the star of Turkiye’s agriculture. But on February 6th, the devastating twin earthquakes changed life as we knew it in these regions forever.
In the face of this tragedy, we united with our partner, I4D to launch an incredible initiative: Sosyal Zincir. Born from a vision to reconnect shattered economies and communities, Sosyal Zincir has become a lifeline, weaving together local producers, private sectors, and markets through an innovative platform.
From agro-food and textile to cosmetics, Sosyal Zincir is reigniting hope and opportunity benefiting mostly marginalized communities.
Success stories abound, like Munch Chocolate in Adıyaman. Elif, the heart and soul behind these handmade delights, faced an uncertain future post-earthquake. Yet, through Sosyal Zincir, she connected with buyers, reviving her business and continuing to share her creations.
Sosyal Zincir is not just a platform; it’s a testament to resilience, partnership, and the spirit of innovation. By bridging the gap between local producers and the wider market, it’s helping communities rebuild, thrive, and look to the future with renewed hope.
Thank you for standing with us, and your outpouring support to our Earthquake Fund. We couldn’t have done it without you.
