Şırnak Municipality provides financial support to large families

The Şırnak Municipality has distributed gift vouchers totaling 4,312,000 Turkish Lira to 77 married couples as part of its Social Support Project for Families with 10 Children. Each participating family received a voucher valued at 56,000 Turkish Lira.

During the ceremony, Şırnak Governor Birol Ekici highlighted the importance of the initiative in addressing Turkey's declining fertility rates. He noted that while some provinces have seen fertility rates drop to 1.09 per woman, Şırnak maintains a rate of 2.53, ranking second in the country after Urfa.

Mayor Mehmet Yarka stated that the project aligns with the designation of 2025 as the Year of the Family. In addition to supporting large families, the municipality provides 60,000 Turkish Lira in support to newly married couples and operates a 'Welcome Baby' project for families with newborns.
