When families arrive in Louisville, they face:

🏠

Housing Barriers

Navigating rental markets, landlord relations & housing rights without support

🌐

Language Isolation

Government forms, healthcare, schools — all in an unfamiliar language

🤝

Lack of Community

No central gathering place for culture, connection, and mutual support

Afrikana exists so no family faces this alone.
