The fate of the Şahinli village in the Lapseki district has changed with the investments made by TÜMAD Mining Industry and Trade Inc., which recently launched its operations in the region. The company started its activities in the village of Şahinli in December 2017 under the Lapseki Gold and Silver Mine Enrichment Project.
TÜMAD Mining Industry and Trade Inc. has provided considerable support the villagers by launching many social and economic projects in the village. The investments made by the company have changed the fate of the village. While the urgent and mandatory works planned by the “Union for the Provision of Services to Villages” operating under the Special Provincial Administration were in the pipeline, TÜMAD Mining Industry and Trade Inc. lent a helping hand to meet the urgent needs of the Şahinli village. To this end, the company contacted the villagers to learn about their needs, and met their demands accordingly. Village cemetery renovated. The cemetery road, which was previously just a path, was paved with cobblestones, resulting in a beautiful view and the removal of the former muddy road. In addition, an astroturf sports pitch was built for the young people of the village, and the stream passing through the middle of the village was rehabilitated. A wedding hall and a bakery were built near the village square and offered to the use of villagers. TÜMAD Mining Industry and Trade Inc. in the recent past donated agricultural machinery and equipment to the village in order to support the agricultural production of villagers, and to allow the farmers in the village to shift to modern farming.
