Impact
Bringing together gastronomy, culture, and solidarity, Zembul Women's Cooperative is no longer just a production point; it continues its path with determination as an experience-oriented center that keeps Tunceli's cultural identity alive.
“When women come together, the city, culture, and future all grow stronger. As Zembul, we will continue to create projects that benefit more women.”
