Sabahat Kırat is with you with her fresh products when you want to offer local flavors to your guests.

A story that went from starting to contribute to the household economy to starting her own business!

Sabahat Kırat started making cakes and pastries at home to support the home economy after the pandemic. At a bazaar she attended, the teachers liked the cakes, pastries and pastries Sabahat made so much that they started to order for her for a fee. Then she increased the variety of her products and started to make and sell home cooking as well as pastry products.

Sabahat’s cooking was very popular and her work became known through the teachers. The delicious food she produced spread by word of mouth. She also started receiving orders from outside the city.

After the earthquake, Sabahat found it difficult to continue her business and took a break for a while. MaviKalem’s announcement gave her hope during her break. She applied to the project, thinking that it would support her in developing and improving her business. Being involved in the project made her happy and empowered. Thanks to the materials, Sabahat continued and improved her business.

“Before, I used to make katıklı bread and other pastries in a pan, which caused me to produce fewer products and did not give the flavor of the tandoor. Thanks to the materials you provided, I can produce more products in a short time and the products I make taste better. This has led my customers to like my products and my orders have increased.”

Sabahat says that she was very happy that MaviKalem got back to her and provided her with the products she needed. She is now advancing and developing her business at home and taking orders. With the income she earns, she supports her children’s education and buys the materials she needs for her business.

Sabahat, whose dream is to start her own business, says to women who want to start their own business or develop their business, especially women who do not study, “Let them act in whatever field they are good at.”
