The Process Starting on Social Media

57-year-old Gülay Tokmak, living in the Aksu district of Antalya, took action upon a post she encountered on a social media platform. Watching the footage of Antalya Metropolitan Municipality Deputy Mayor Büşra Özdemir rolling out yufka with women, Tokmak left a comment expressing a fundamental need in her neighborhood.

Difficulties of Elderly Residents Explained

Stating that the majority of citizens living in Karaöz Neighborhood are elderly, Tokmak expressed that they have difficulty kneading dough using traditional methods. In this context, she requested support from the municipality for a dough kneading machine that would make the neighborhood residents' work easier.

Positive Response Received in a Short Time

Municipality officials remained indifferent to Tokmak's call on social media, and she received a positive response just two days after her application. With the acceptance of the request, the neighborhood residents experienced great joy.

Machine Delivery Within the Scope of the Campaign

Within the framework of the "You Bring the Flour, We Knead It" campaign carried out by the Antalya Metropolitan Municipality, a dough kneading machine was donated to Karaöz Neighborhood. Thanks to this sent machine, the winter yufka preparation process of the women in the neighborhood significantly accelerated.

The Work of Neighborhood Women Made Easier

Gülay Tokmak, one of the first to try out the machine, emphasized how much this provided support has made their lives easier. Stating that kneading dough by hand takes a long time and is very tiring, Tokmak conveyed her thanks to Deputy Mayor Büşra Özdemir.
