The story began five years ago when the Samandağ Women's Cooperative leased 20 acres of land from the Samandağ Municipality for 25 years with the aim of establishing a Gastronomy Village. The project, initiated with dreams of creating a tourism destination under women's leadership and establishing a sustainable future in the region, was nearly completed when the earthquake almost completely destroyed the structures.

One and a half years have passed since the earthquake disaster, centred in Kahramanmaraş and profoundly felt in Hatay and its districts, which shocked and deeply affected us all with its loss of life and destruction. In the early months, support aimed at healing wounds gradually shifted towards sustainable projects. In my opinion, one of the most important of these is the <b>Samandağ Gastronomy project</b>. At the beginning of the week, we met with the stakeholders of the project in Istanbul. <b>At the meeting hosted by Bahar Uçanlar, General Manager of Diageo Türkiye at IWSA, and attended by KEDV (Foundation for the Support of Women’s Work) President Şengül Akçar and Samandağ Mayor Emrah Karaçay,</b> the story and future goals of the project were shared.
