In Aksaray, 52-year-old Müşerref Şentürk became the boss of his own business in the pizzeria he opened with the grant he received by applying to the "Project for Establishing Your Own Business for Disabled and Ex-Convicts" organized in Aksaray Chamber of Commerce and Industry with the cooperation of İŞKUR and ATSO.

In the Ortaköy district of Aksaray, 52-year-old Müşerref Şentürk, who contributed to the household budget by cooking at weddings and mawlids, became the boss of his own business in the pizza shop he opened with the support of a grant.

Şentürk, who has a disability report of 58 percent due to diabetes, applied to the "Own Business Project for Disabled and Ex-Convicts" after attending the course opened by İŞKUR in 2018.

Şentürk, who opened his shop with the support of 42 thousand liras upon the approval of the project he prepared, provided employment to four women as well as serving the people of the district.

Müşerref Şentürk, in his statement, said that he has been living with the dream of starting his own business for years and has been making plans about it.

Explaining that he applied as soon as he heard about the project opened by İŞKUR, Şentürk continued as follows:

"Desperately, I went to İŞKUR and applied. Thank God the grant came out. I went to the course for a week. Then I applied for the grant. It was accepted. I received a grant of 42 thousand lira. I set up this shop with him. "I bought my chairs and other materials. Thus, I set up my own business. I currently employ 3-4 people at my workplace. I am happy to realize my dream."

"We make 11-12 types of pizza"

Şentürk advised all women to attend İŞKUR's courses and to open their own businesses by receiving grants and support both the country and the family economy.

"This place has been an incomparable blessing for me. Previously, I used to make a living by cooking weddings and mawlid dinners for people I know. I love this profession. I don't just make pizza, I make ravioli, women spend their days here now. The idea for pizza was my son's idea. I love breakfast and pastries. I was going to open a restaurant that makes pizza, but we opened a pizzeria shop with my son, who is my biggest supporter. My son worked as a pizzeria in England for 3 years. With his help, we opened our shop, thank God. We make 11-12 types of pizza. Thank God, our business is going very well. "

One of the customers, Sevtap Fidan, emphasized that she always loves the restaurant and recommends the pizzas to everyone.

Stating that they are happy to have such a business in a small town, Fidan said, "We always come with my children. As women, we also support our sister who opened the business. We come as a family, spend time and eat and go home." he said.
