The market includes amigurumi toys, leather bags and wallets, epoxy jewelry products, felt products, embroidery, sewing, knitting products and many special design products.

"WOMEN'S EDUCATION AND CULTURE CENTERS BECAME THE HOPE OF THOUSANDS OF WOMEN"

Congratulating the women of Altındağ for their success, Altındağ Mayor Dr. Veysel Tiryaki said, "The Women's Education and Culture Centers that we opened in our neighborhoods have become the hope of thousands of women from Altındağ. Today, our women who do not leave their homes go to courses and produce artistic designs in our Women's Education and Culture Centers. Women both learn a profession in these Centers and turn what they have learned into profit. I was both proud and happy when I saw the handmade products of the women who produced them in the Hand Products Sales Market that we launched years ago. I wish our women from Altındağ good luck. I wish the new season a good one." "I hope that, as Altındağ Municipality, we will continue to support the women of Altındağ in every aspect and be with them," he said. 

"WE CONTRIBUTE TO THE HOME ECONOMY"

Nagihan Bulut, a member of Mevlana Women's Education and Culture Center, said that she has been selling at the Hand Products Sales Market for about 10 years. Bulut stated that she attended the leather course at the Women's Education and Culture Center and said, "It is very nice to earn money by producing. We contribute to the home economy with the earnings we make from the Hand Products Sales Market. Many of us send our children to school and pay house rent. In addition, we make friends and friendships here. "We thank our President very much for providing us with this opportunity." he said.

"HANDMADE MARKET IS ONE OF THE BEST BUSINESSES FOR WOMEN..." 
Stating that he attended amigurumi, furnishing, jewelry and sewing courses at Seyfi Demirsoy Women's Education and Culture Center, Sunay Avcı said: "While I was receiving training at the Women's Education and Culture Center 6 years ago, I learned that the Hand Products Sales Market was allocated free of charge to women. I also stated that I wanted to sell. I think this market is one of the best businesses ever created for women. Everyone produces the products sold here themselves. There are retired people, there are housewives. We provide financial support. It is also a very important place for socialization. Our work is also supported by our environment. They are also enthusiastic. They say let's produce something too. Sitting at home is not a very productive thing."


"I TOOK MY CHILDREN ON HOLIDAY WITH THE EARNINGS I EARNED FROM HERE"

Tuğba Zaim, a member of Gültepe Women's Education and Culture Center, stated that she had the opportunity to improve herself with the training she received at the Women's Education and Culture Center and said, "There are all kinds of cultural activities in the Women's Education and Culture Centers. We not only attend courses but also engage in social activities. We also have the opportunity to participate in cultural activities such as theatre, cinema, interviews and trips. As producing hands, we offer the products we produce for sale at the Hand Products Sales Market. I'm paying my house allowance. I took my children on vacation with the earnings I earned from here. We would like to thank our president very much for the support he provides to housewives. We pray to him. "May God bring success to your affairs," he said.

"WE FEEL MUCH STRONGER AS ALTINTAĞLI LADIES"
Stating that she has been a member of Önder Women's Education and Culture Center for 12 years, Sevgi Kaptan said: "I went to wooden role, kazaziye and jewelry courses. I improved myself more in the jewelry course. I do epoxy work. I use the flowers I collect from the fields to make jewelry by drying them among books. I love my job too. Our president always gives priority to housewives. Thank you very much for taking the time to come here. As women from Altındağ, we feel much stronger. I recommend all women to attend the courses. We are learning to stand on our own feet. And we make a profit."
