"TANTE FOR KUKURIKU" is a visionary social platform that arises from the artist's struggle with personal financial existence. In a world often driven by monetary transactions, this platform seeks to address the challenges faced by individuals experiencing financial hardship by embracing the power of community exchange.

The name found inspiration in saying "TANTE FOR KUKURIKU" ("Tante" is the German word for "aunt” and “Kuku Riku” the Turkish word for "cock-a-doodle-doo”) in a humorous interpretation, "aunt for rooster". A phrase that indicates an adequate return of what has been received, in the same measure, in the same quality and in the same quantity. It represents the inclusive nature of the platform, welcoming individuals from diverse backgrounds to participate in the exchange of resources and redefine value beyond monetary measures.

Inspired by contemporary thinkers and experts from various fields, the platform's foundation lies in the belief that genuine connections and shared resources can alleviate financial burdens and foster a sense of collective well-being. It aims to create a community where individuals can freely exchange goods and services, transcending traditional economic constraints and fostering mutual support and empowerment.

By enabling users to register and create profile pages, "TANTE FOR KUKURIKU" encourages participants to share their stories, skills, and offerings within an open and compassionate environment. Users can list the goods, professional services, and practical services they can provide while expressing their personal requirements and needs.

The platform's algorithm matches users based on their interests, offers, requirements, valuations, budget, and location, finding ways to facilitate exchanges between two or multiple users, and ensuring a mutually beneficial transaction.

By facilitating money-free exchanges, "TANTE FOR KUKURIKU" envisions a paradigm shift through this transformative experience where participants can find solace in shared resources, nurture their talents, and discover new opportunities within a supportive network.

As the "TANTE FOR KUKURIKU" community grows and evolves, it aspires to become not just a platform for personal resilience but also a catalyst for broader societal change.
