EPISODE 02 (OCTOBER 11, 2009)

THIS WEEK’s CHANGEMAKER: 'ORGANIC NAZMI's CONTRIBUTION TO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN ONE OF TURKEY’S POOREST REGIONS.


Sabanci Foundation launched the ‘Turkey’s Changemakers’ project to share inspiring stories of individuals who make a difference in social and economic development.

The second episode of the program airs on CNN Turk, 11 October at 18:30 and showcases ‘Organic Nazmi’ who has contributed to economic development by revolutionizing farming in Eastern Turkey.

Since 1998, Nazmi Ilicali has trained and mobilized 3500 farmers in organic farming. Through several projects (one of which was Turkey’s first organic milk project) Nazmi’s work has now spread to 9 provinces in Eastern Turkey. His work has earned him entry into Ashoka’s acclaimed social entrepreneur network.
