Global Refuge 7d ago

After fleeing Afghanistan in 2021, Nilla and her family arrived in Arkansas with a dream but no clear path forward. Through the support of Global Refuge and Canopy Northwest Arkansas' entrepreneurship program, they navigated the complexities of starting a business in the United States to open their first Afghan Restaurant in Northwest Arkansas. Today, they aren’t just serving delicious Afghan and Turkish cuisine; they are building a bridge between cultures and strengthening their new community. In this video, you’ll see: The challenges of starting a business as a new refugee. How the Canopy entrepreneurship program helps dreamers become business owners. The heart and hard work behind the first Afghan kitchen in the region. A message of resilience: "We didn't give up." Support our mission: At Global Refuge, we believe in the power of welcome. Your support helps us provide the tools and resources refugees need to thrive and contribute to their new communities. ✨ Subscribe to see more stories of hope and resilience. 🌐 Visit our website: https://www.globalrefuge.org/📲 Follow us on social media: https://www.instagram.com/globalrefuge_/?hl=en #GlobalRefuge #RefugeeStories #Entrepreneurship #AfghanFood #NorthwestArkansas #Resilience #CommunitySupport
